Guys, being a teacher is not the same as a regular job because you get paid an annual salary for 9 months worth of work, and your pay and promotion comes regardless of the measurable failure your work has on the people you provide your "professional" service to. Obviously teachers need far greater work place protection, otherwise nobody would want to do the job. I mean, teachers didn't even exist until tenure came about and they were basically considered bums, rather than pillars of the community, until tenure came about. The NEA is an altruistic collection of individuals dedicated to the advancement of society, not a bunch of people trying to collectively bargain for greater wages, benefits and job security than people of a similar skill set could ever hope for. Anyone who disagrees with me clearly doesn't get it and is probably anti-intellectual and Anti-society because I say so and am too rough ridin' stupid and lazy to cobble together a coherent argument to justify my illogical unrealistic preconceived notion of what exactly is going on here.
