The article and most of here response had nothing to do with unions, but she had to throw that "jab" in at the end. Kathy is one of those on this board who is only here to decry unions.

Second your first statement is kids need more time, but then the third sentence is teachers are stressed out and over worked. Your solution is to have them in the classroom longer? Glad to hear your working to better parent teacher relations, it is much needed. Just wondering about some of your comments. Kathy, whats the unions have to do with this???

Kids do not have time in the classroom to learn the task, and build a learning relationship with the teacher. The same, for the teachers I know by working and speaking to teachers they are stressed out and over worked! The little time allowed just enjoying a nice lunch or working with their class. The bell rings and everyone needs to move on! The children are not learning how to complete a task, start or ask questions on things they do not understand. I am working hard as a parent to get more parents involved and help break down the wall between, parents and teachers. We are stronger if we work together and support the teachers more. The unions need to move on! Thank you! I am a Parent and I think the kids need more instruction time and interaction with the teachers.

Good luck with that. Smaller classes (Tennessee Star research) is the answer. They don't like that one.
