Ralph Durham 1:25 pm | 7 Apr So-called "right-to-work" laws are an Orwellian term to describe the right to freeload off of the bargaining work by union brothers and sisters, and to cut the knees out from unions as a political force. It's like businessmen pooling their money to form a corporation. You can choose to work a non-union job, or invest your money in something else.

"I am not the best teacher in America. There isn't one. All across this nation millions of teachers do the work that I do, and many do it better. I have the qualities that some of the best teachers have... an absolute pas- sion for my work, a bottomless well of belief in my students and their potential. I have a thirst for getting better at what I do every single day. And I have a warm and welcoming heart for all stu- dents and the unique gifts that they bring to my classroom."
Rebecca Mieliwocki, National Teacher of the Year
