Kristof Is Off His Rocker

  This mornings hit on the New York Times will be on one of their lame-brained left wing aligned OPED columnists,he is Nicholas Kristof his piece of garbage is entitled "Pay Teachers More" this of course is in reference to the public sector unions.
  He begins his socialist rant "From the debates in Wisconsin and elsewhere about public sector unions, you might get the impression that we’re going bust because teachers are overpaid.That’s a pernicious fallacy. A basic educational challenge is not that teachers are raking it in, but that they are underpaid. If we want to compete with other countries, and chip away at poverty across America, then we need to pay teachers more so as to attract better people into the profession."
  Not only are they over paid the only work 9 months out of the year and get close to six figures along with great "Cadillac style benefits" including medical benes.To say that Public school teachers are underpaid is the pernicious fallacy.
  Later on in his piece Kristof not only lies but flip flops as most liberal do "Look, I’m not a fan of teachers’ unions. They used their clout to gain job security more than pay, thus making the field safe for low achievers. Teaching work rules are often inflexible, benefits are generous relative to salaries, and it is difficult or impossible to dismiss teachers who are ineffective."
  Then are you defending them?Its one or the other.
