Frankly as a teacher, I am tired of their claiming that they speak for me. And that's the problem. They go to Washington, claim to support teachers and then moves are made to act on their claims. Nobody is there supporting the majority of teachers that don't blindly follow the NEA's misguided rulings. Just another reason why I don't belong anymore.Ellen Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02845981491726296767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-1152021043215401202006-07-04T06:50:00.000-07:002006-07-04T06:50:00.000-07:00Gotta ask...why is the NEA interested in Time Zone...Gotta ask...why is the NEA interested in Time Zones?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-1151996148153077062006-07-03T23:55:00.000-07:002006-07-03T23:55:00.000-07:00Not quite sure if you're being sarcastic here or n...Not quite sure if you're being sarcastic here or not, Eric.
