Funniest part of this article is where the teachers list government interference as one of the biggest problems... and the Teacher's Union responds by calling in Government to investigate!
They will never learn.......

Teachers Union Survey Shows Teachers Union MASSIVELY FAILS Teachers
Posted Wednesday, May 13th 2015 @ 9am by Eric Owens
The American Federation of Teachers pays its chief executive $360,000 each year and spent $19,499,848 in membership dues to influence elections in 2014 alone. However, a just-released national survey shows rank-and-file members are deeply unhappy — with stress levels, working conditions, government insistence that students learn more and much else.
The union has responded to the gloom among its constituents by asking the federal government to intervene with a formal study of how difficult and hazardous it is to be a schoolteacher.
The survey of over 30,000 teachers and school administrators was released on Tuesday by the American Federation of Teachers and a group called the Badass Teachers, according to a press release sent to The Daily Caller.
The dire results show that just one in five of the teachers and administrators who completed the 80-question survey believe government officials and members of the media sufficiently respect them.
Almost 95 percent of teachers say they “often” or “sometimes” find teaching stressful. (The “often” figure is 70 percent.) Almost 80 percent say they feel emotionally and physically exhausted at the end of their workdays — which make up approximately 75 percent of each year.
Almost 60 percent of the survey takers complain that their jobs interfere with quality family time on at least some occasions.
Less than 15 percent say they strongly agree with the statement that they trust their bosses.
