Teachers Union Chief: If Teachers Can’t Do Their Job, Find A New Profession

Teachers who aren’t up to snuff shouldn’t be in classrooms and should find new professions, the head of the 1.5 million-member American Federation of Teachers said Monday.

Randi Weingarten told a gathering of her union’s rank-and-file members that they should be more vigilant about their colleagues’ abilities and said weak educators who don’t make improvements only hurt the profession. The tough warning comes as state education chiefs have been trying to implement tougher standards for those in the classrooms and weed out teachers whose students aren’t making progress.

“If someone can’t teach, after they’ve been prepared and supported, they shouldn’t be in our profession,” Weingarten said to applause from more than 2,000 union members meeting here.

    Really?
    Where else can you just show up for nine months minus holidays and get compensated so well?
    I don't think too many people will be leaving anytime soon.
