$100k a year or union benefits?
That's the choice that Minnesota teachers may soon face, according to this FoxNews article. Basically, if teachers with proven ability (in terms of increased student test scores) are willing to forego certain union protections, the state will pay in the neighborhood of $100k plus bonuses. Frankly, given the utterly wretched things that educational unions do to school districts, this might actually be a break-even economic proposition for the state, especially in troubled school districts.
Tsk. Union-bashing in a Southern blog is somewhat predictable, yes? Did the right-to-work textile mills with lint flying everywhere do your parents any favors?
