    SC - do you have an active teacher's union in your state? I'm not typically a union person ( I am pretty conservative), but I will always be a member of our union. Right now we are dealing with a colleague of ours who was falsely accused by a student of doing something inappropriate, and if it wasn't for the union and the union atty, the district would have already gotten rid of him. Guilty until proven innocent anymore.
    Our union had to really fight for our rights this past year when it came time to sign our contracts. I understand that there are some unions that are underhanded, and some union leaders that are only out for themselves. But they are there to protect workers, and I hate to see Governors try to undercut them and what they were designed for.

    we are pretty strong locally but we lack numbers in individual buidings. Mostly younger idealistic ones that do not think they will ever need the union. One is sucking up to admin big time. It is all fine and dandy while she has this principal but things change often. I couldn't risk it. She is young and cocky.

    That's wonderful S-C! I'm sure you will have a wonderful time.

    We all have to be in one or other of the two teachers unions. I'm not militant either but I am glad to know that I have the protection of a union should I ever need it.
