60k and summers off to pursue other revenue streams, sounds alright to me.

Yes, not bad at all. But not a substitute for collective bargaining.

Obviously we disagree on how broken teacher's unions are. It seems you think they are so broken that they need to be torn down (perhaps to be rebuilt), and I think they need some corrective measures.

Seeing what happened with the UAW in response to the auto company troubles here in the US, I am hopeful that meaningful reforms can be achieved.

I think you have summarized our difference in perspective nicely. I appreciate you doing so without claiming that I'm "anti-human-rights". I hope that it doesn't take the near collapse of our education system to be the catalyst for a large reformation (as it did w the UAW). -though some would argue we are approaching this point quickly. Have a good day. I'm spending way too much time on this post, have to get to work. If I don't perform well... I'll get let go :)
