The Idaho Press Tribune has an interesting opinion piece regarding the IEA's lawsuit against the State regarding the "Students Come First" reforms that recently were passed and signed into law during this year's session. The best part of the opinion is as follows:
"The teachers union is certainly entitled to file lawsuits. It’s a free country.
But the principle on which this one is based gives the impression that members of the union should somehow be immune from the financial pressures the rest of us feel. There are people throughout the workforce who are hired under the auspices of getting certain pay and benefits, but when the economy goes south, those things have to be adjusted.
It’s time for Idaho’s teachers and school boards to find the best way to educate our kids with the resources they have. Most of us can sympathize with them over a loss of funding and bargaining power, but none of us should believe that recessions are something only 'other people' should have to go through."
