Education propositions 1,2,3--MY ARGUMENTS

MY arguments about the Ed Propositions 1,2,3:
PROPOSITION 1
If you vote yes on Proposition 1, you will put the school boards and the parents who elect the boards back in control of the schools. Teachers' unions will be limited to open bargaining for wages and health insurance and must be backed by over 50% of the teachers. If you vote no on Proposition 1, you will keep the teachers' union in control of schools. The teachers unions will continue to bargain for all management decisions (even deciding when the bell rings) behind closed doors and the school boards will continue to lose control, having to agree with them. The NEA and IEA are spending millions in Idaho to defeat this bill so they can keep their control and wages. PROPOSITION 2:
If you vote yes on proposition 2, then effective teachers will be rewarded. Effective teachers and effective schools will be rewarded based 70% on how the children progresss during the year, only 30% on grades. Tenure will be phased out with the new teachers coming in. If you vote no, then teachers will be rewarded by how long they teach. Tenure will continue and school boards will not be able to fire teachers who are not effective. The lie from the unions is that the $38 million for pay for performance is just a transfer of money from teacher's salaries within the education budget. The truth is that the $38 million is extra money added to the education fund from the general fund. PROPOSITION 3:
If you vote yes on Proposition 3, you will guarantee that each student will have a laptop to use and there will be on on-line course required. If you vote no on proposition 3, there will be non required laptops or on-line courses and the state will have to come up with more money to buy textbooks, etc. The lie is that computers replace teachers. The truth is that they do not replace teachers. The lie is that the local district pays for the upkeep of the computers. The truth is that the state requires the contractor to maintain the computers. Textbooks on the long run are much more expensive than computers. All of these reform education laws have been enacted in part by some other states so they are not new. Idaho has the most comprehensive reforms so the teachers' unions are fighting the hardest in Idaho. Teachers are paid with taxpayer money to attend many union functions. The union bosses are paid wages that are in the hundreds of thousands.
