The AEA-not for kids? Brian @ Flashpoint has an excellent post that repeats most of my problems with the Alabama Education Association or as I like to call it, "the closest thing to socialism we have in Alabama." According to the AEA, everyone must be paid the same regardless of competency or test scores. Who cares if the children are failing, we had better get my annual raise.
It is a shame that when somebody like Bradley Byrne tries to improve our educational system, they are met with so much hostility just so a few crusty old men can hold on to what they got at the expense of ill-educated kids and a busted budget.
