The History and Problems with Teacher Unions in Special Education

This comes from KPS4Parents. I will say that I have heard a number of negative things about teacher unions, and understand the frustration many have with them. I proudly belong to the Kansas National Education Association (KNEA), and have no problems so far with how my local union represents itself. Nonetheless, I believe these issues should be discussed, and teachers should always keep an open mind to how unions effect the bigger picture of special education.
