15,000 Los Angeles Teachers, para professionals, parents and other union groups protest at Pershing Square Jan. 29th, 2009. With the economy down why are these people protesting? The media won't give more than 20 second coverage of the struggle public education is facing in the national push to privatize our public schools. California's governor is willing to put California last in per pupil funding. Shame on you Arnold! Here's one teachers' effort to gather the evidence that teachers care about their students, the families and the communities that are served by the Los Angeles Unified School District.

It's not entirely true that all teachers come from the bottom 20% of all college rankings. Some teachers graduated from schools such as UCI and UCLA. However, I do agree that some teachers are just plain STUPID. These bad teachers are definitely overpaid.

@RealityCheck86 I agree with you. But what do you mean by average test scores? What kinds of standard exams are you referring to? Thanks.

Get rid of the parasite union. There is no need for it. Fire all teachers who don't cut it like any other profession. This is a joke. I would never let my kids go to public school because of this crap.

Publish ALL average test scores for EACH teacher on a public website so we can all see who are the ones that need to be replaced.

End the ridiculous pensions as well.

Look at these idiots. They come from the bottom 20% of all college rankings. Look it up.

And for God's sake - NO PENSIONS~!

payers and with the economy as bad is now it will get worse cuts will be across

the board this state is flat broke you cannot support this system when you
