I will troll on into this thread.

I feel like I am in a position to speak about teachers in Alberta since I employ them. I also have two children attending school right now.

Teachers are over paid baby sitters.

We pay teachers so our wives can go to work to pay for teachers.

(and other taxes).

The only people that cheerlead teachers are teachers or relatives of teachers.

(those enjoying the ride on the gravy train)

That should tell you a lot. Public sector workers in Alberta are a target right now. The target is fair because their wages are out of proportion to the private sector.

Having an imbalance such as we do between private sector and public sector results in only one thing that socialists should care about. - Inflation, more specifically - diminishing purchasing power for lower class people not protected by AUPE.

Having 4 years of education means jack squat. Labor is a commodity. Supply vs. Demand sets the wage. When it doesn't a bubble is created. Teachers add ZERO "real" value to an economy. We need to stop looking at them as a part of it. They are a by-product of it.

You need a healthy economy before you can have teachers. You can not have teachers before you have an economy.

Privatize it. Make it accountable. Stop taxing me on it.
