Teachers Unions Explained

I'm certainly not the only person making cartoons lampooning the teacher unions' behavior (mine is entitled "Teacher of the Year Laid Off" and is posted here: www.xtranormal.com/watch/11138646 (2 minutes).  I got a kick out of this one, entitled "Teachers Unions Explained": www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kxc6kzH-uI (4 min).  Here's a sample of the dialogue between a supporter of the unions and a skeptic:

 

- The only way to improve public schools is money.

- How much money would it take?
- More

- How much more?

- A lot more

- Can you be a little more specific?

- How much does the country have left?

- I'm guessing not enough.

- Just keep giving them money until the unions say you can stop.

- No

- Why not?

- I'm worried they might forget to say stop.
