Please help me ask the NEA, and their state affiliates, to kick out all the administrators. [View all]
Imagine if Walmart employees succeeded in their long-running efforts to unionize, and then allowed Bentonville, Arkansas Walmart executives to join. Ridiculous, right?
Well, it is just as absurd for the NEA or its state affiliates to allow teacher-abusing, overpaid administrators to continue to be members of those unions -- and yet, they do.
With very few exceptions, administrators have become the enemies of education in modern America. Also, they have their own professional organization. The NEA doesn't need them, nor do they need (nor deserve) membership in the NEA.
If you agree, please sign this petition, and share it with others: http://www.change.org/petitions/the-national-education-association-stop-allowing-administrators-to-join-the-nea-or-its-state-affiliates
There is also a larger, ongoing, petition to Congress, requesting federal legislation to cut the pay (and therefore the number of) public school administrators, nationwide. It is right here: http://www.change.org/petitions/the-c-a-p-education-reform-proposal-save-america-s-schools-by-cutting-administrators-pay-with-federal-legislation
Both petitions explain themselves, and I am asking you to sign and spread them only if you agree with them. Thank you.
