[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 956507, member: 60724"] Frank, Shocking I tell you. You found some stats that rank southern schools the lowest in the nation. Then you attribute their low ranking to the fact that they do not have collective bargaining. Sounds like some assumptions to me. You mention Virginia, which is 44th. Then Texas and others 47th, and above. That implies that the states ranked 45th and 46th DO have collective bargaining for teachers and they are WORSE than at least one that doesn't, and almost as bad as three that don't. So, clearly, the ability to collectively bargain or not is not the ONLY think keeping these low-ranked states down. Right? Also, many states don't have formal laws in place to prevent or allow collective bargaining of teachers, and many that do have laws granting collective bargaining for teachers (and public employees) also have statutes that prohibit strikes. To me, collective bargaining without striking is akin to a gun without bullets. But then, I'm probably trivializing the power and benefits of collective bargaining...especially for the dim bulbs in the pack. TJR [/QUOTE]
