I agree, any suggestion that Teachers are leftist and union loving has no idea, what so ever.
Let me put this to you all.
Whcih professions have compulsory associations? Oh I dont know, say some of you. Compulsory unionism or assocations should be banned.
To practice in the legal profession or be admitted to the bar, a practiioner must be a memebr of the Law Society of NSW.
To practice as a formal medical practitioner you must be a member of the AMA ( Australian Medical Association)
and so it goes on,
to practice as an Archiect ................
To practice as a Vet....................................
Oh gee, those amongst you might just see a correlation, compulsory membership to these assocaitions and society means you become a practioner in the best renumerated professions.
