The system is bankrupt, so the pensioners should have to adjust accordingly. They should have know when they signed the contracts that they would never be able to be fulfilled. It was political cronyism at its worst! By the way, tell me who opposes the teachers union? It's not the administrators because they are all former failed teachers, Randy Bernstein being the most prominent 4J example. There is no opposition; it's all self-dealing!

Yes, I worked for 4 years with special needs kids/adults and have worked in the public schools, so I know how little oversight and expectations there are on teachers. Sorry, try someone who is more easily fooled!
