I recently heard about something very interesting.
As a direct result of Gov. Walker's reforms, this one particular school district (Kaukauna) immediately turns from a $400,000 budget deficit to a $1.5 million surplus. They plan to hire more teachers.
So let's see...
A.) No jobs were lost
B.) Several new jobs will be created
C.) More teachers = smaller class sizes, better student/teacher ratio, better classroom environment for students
Yet the unions fought this tooth and nail.
Who does the NEA really care about? Think about it for a while, it obviously isn't the students.
District swings from deficit to surplus with newly enacted employee contributions
