Why/How do they squash any competition? If you answer that correctly, you'll be making an argument for the teachers in this discussion. I'll be waiting.

Not yet. I need to know 'what' your question is by asking you to place a societal value on them.You didnt answer my question
Oh, what do we have here. The world education index rankings.
Guess who's ranked 6th and who ranks 13th??!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_Index
I asked first though
there were over 11,000 newly certified teachers in ontario in 2011. 30% were unemployed and 50% were working part time as supply teachers.
newly certified teachers in 2010- 20 percent still unemployed and 60% were working part time.
If the teachers feel they have it so bad, why don't they just quit. There's tons of jobs in the private sector where you can pull in an average of 83K working 9-5, get a couple weeks off at Christmas, a week off for spring break, get the summer off, never have to work weekends or on statutory holidays, lots of paid sick days and great pension. Oh and you'll likely never get fired or laid off. Have I missed anything?
Nothing. Except the requirements of getting/completing the job. SMHIf the teachers feel they have it so bad, why don't they just quit.

A Post-Grad education to start. BTW, those unemployed teachers everyone wants to use as 'replacements' are actually more educated (i.e. theoretically expensive) than those many are suggesting they replace.
Sounds like Toke believes that nobody else but teachers have a Post-Grad education and therefore deserve more than everyone else.
Not at all. It's just that most arguments are based on perceptions about the profession that are not true. Why should a banker, lawyer, or doctor be paid what they are? They don't need teachers? Many aspects must be taken when arguing what proper compensation is.
Supply and demand is the usual method.
Right now the union has artificially raised teacher compensation to a point where there are too many people trying to be teachers and not enough jobs for them.
Reducing their pay would correct the over supply of teachers.
Just out of curiosity, when you vote NDP, do you have to chuck economic common sense out the window?
I think I did it wrong, because I did vote NDP before, but when I did, nobody forced me to sign something saying that the law of supply and demand was a fraud.
