A new documentary film, "Looking for Superman" suggests that American education is severly flawed. Is this view justified?

What wrongriki is trying to say in these forum topics is this . . . it will get the last word in almost every topic even if he has to post more of his right-wing propaganda and repetitive nonsense.

“A sizeable number of teachers are sick of the MEA’s hyper-partisan ways that put politics and special interest concerns over the practical needs of rank-and-file members, reports Bridge Magazine.”

Just what does that have to do here?

wrongriki is the type who would do all the lying and misleading about something it absolutely has no reference about . Utterly ironic of a “FREE-RIDER” who relies on welfare and foodstamps!

No retiree is required to pay dues after retiring !

(we are ohio)

Didn't figure you would understand !Point is you whine about union officers who earn money representing hundreds of thousands and yet CEO's make billions !

Now back to the topic of "A new documentary film, "Looking for Superman" suggests that American education is severly flawed. Is this view justified?"

(we are ohio.co m)

Munster is the type who would do all the whining about paying dues while gladly accepting the benefits of a USW retirement that unions provide. Utterly typical of a “FREE-RIDER”!

“since I retired I am not obligated anymore , its a curtesy. Am I obligated to pay dues till I die ?” ~ free4all

That's called the republican mantra , deny,lie ,deflect and mislead !! Typical

What ? Is this a guess ? A sizable number ?? Oh I think I'm seeing it now :EAGnews**** He works for Kyle Olson who has made other appearances on Fox Business Network, NPR and MSNBC. Kyle has given scores of interviews on talk radio programs coast to coast. His work has been cited by the Drudge Report, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck. Just another right wing crap factory !

Please wait until wrongriki is done "piling on" his right-wing propaganda and bullsh#t repeats.

Myth: Unions are political organizations that elect Democrats. Fact: Unions do a lot more than politics. Most of unions’ work involves fighting for good contracts, helping workers improve their lives and standing up for all working families. Through their unions, workers support candidates who support working families’ issues and who work for good laws. IUOE's political work is not about electing Democrats or Republicans—it’s about electing people who stand up for working people.

Myth: Unions force workers out on strike often. Fact: Workers in IUOE and most other unions vote whether or not to strike. Ninety-nine percent of IUOE contract negotiations are settled without a strike. No one ever wants a strike.

Myths and Facts About Unions

Myth: Unions are outside, special-interest groups. Fact: Workers are the union. A union is simply a democratic organization of working people standing up for their rights on the job and in society. Unions also bring people together in the community to stand up for issues that matter to all working people.

Myth: Unions mean more conflict in the workplace. Fact: Unions can make the workplace a more harmonious place to work. A union contract allows the company and workers to sit down as equals and discuss problems as they come up. Without a union, workers’ lives are often in more turmoil because they have to deal with more favoritism and less economic security.

Myth: Companies close due to unions. Fact: Companies close for economic reasons—and the vast majority of companies that close are nonunion. Some companies, however, like to keep this myth alive by illegally threatening workers who attempt to form a union !

Trumka said the deficit hawks in corporate America are trying to “scare” voters and “distract attention from America’s real economic problems.”

The AFL-CIO released Monday its 2012 “Paywatch” survey of the compensation of 350 CEOs with companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500 (INDEXSP:.INX) index. Their compensation averaged $12.3 million last year, 354 times more than what a typical American earns according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Apples to oranges ! And still , What the ever ignorant wrongriki doesn't say is officers in international unions represent thousands of members . In order to do their job well they must be equipped with the knowledge to negotiate for the body of the union ! I don't know about the Know Nothing Expert but I prefer to have a person working on my behalf that is respected and knows what their doing ! I suppose wrongriki would like to have the janitor negotiate for it ! When compared to the pay of CEO's of even small companies the officals are underpaid !

More Jason Hart ? A republican gas bag and keeper of the republican mantra of deny, deflect, mislead and lie !

“The Ohio AFL-CIO president continued by reciting a litany of union talking points, pretending every bad thing is a result of workplace freedom and its supporters.”

“Ohio Association of Public School Employees (OAPSE) Executive Director Joe Rugola” “Rugola was paid $253,351 in dues taken from workers last year, based on U.S. Department of Labor records. OAPSE is an affiliate of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), which itself is an AFL-CIO affiliate.”
