[quote=33girl;1619700]The issue there is not the school administration, or (I would wager) the majority of the teachers themselves. The issue is what the union tells them they can and cannot do, and the heads of the union do NOT always speak for all the teachers.]
Well they DO elect their own union leaders...and the district admin and parents have absolutely zero control on that one so the teachers have to own the actions of their own union. Do the math teachers care if the music program bites the dust? probably not. But they DO care when parents get so fed up with the mediocrity of the school that they seek alternatives...kids not in their school = less ADA money = less need for teachers. Home schooling and charter schools provide options for those parents that just don't have it in them anymore to battle what seems like a never ending political situation where students are often at the bottom of anyone's priority list.
