Do you trust the California Teachers Association on anything?
"Drug companies often hire researchers to evaluate the prescription medicines they’ve designed. Without fail, the studies reveal – surprise! – that the drugs work. Then, when they want the public to pay top dollar for a product, the drug companies dig up wise-looking doctors in lab coats who tout the “research-based” benefits in television commercials.
Last week, we learned that the California Teacher’s Association has taken a page from the drug companies’ book. First, they asked a research firm to evaluate the nearly $3 billion education reform program that they helped design, promote, and turn into law, the 2006 Quality Education Investment Act (QEIA). Then, when the researchers discovered that the program “worked,” CTA ran commercials on the radio touting its benefits.
Not surprisingly, the reforms included in QEIA are the same ones CTA has been promoting for years: reducing class sizes, expanding professional development, and adding staff. According to the commercials, these are the education reforms the state should be investing in."
In fact the CTA has struck the La Habra (LA County) school district for higher wages!. The CTA demands all teachers pays bribes.
Why do they want smaller class size? Because that means more bribe payers, not better quality education. Why does CTA oppose Charter Schools? Because these schools have an almost 100% vote of the teachers NOT to pay bribes to work.
Unions are for themselves, not the children or community.
