Some Tosa Teachers Disgrace Themselves

The teachers who do this should be ashamed of themselves.

Some teachers may cut back on their participation in after-school activities this school year because the Wauwatosa Education Association, the teachers union, doesn’t have a voluntarily agreed-upon contract with the district.

The district imposed the Qualified Economic Offer this summer that gives teachers the same benefits they received under their old contract and gives them a total compensation increase of 3.8 percent.

Brent said a lot of teachers are cutting back on volunteering for after-school activities and writing letters of recommendation for students.

I don’t mind them not volunteering for after school activities.  After all, nobody should be forced to volunteer.  But withholding letters of recommendation from students punishes the students for a fight between the union and the school board.  Any teacher who refuses to write a letter of recommendation for a good kid because of a union tiff is a disgrace.  They should be fired immediately because they obviously don’t give a crap about the kids.
