Knuckles knows that he is not telling his readers anything when he says that the hags and trolls of the NEA are full of shit. Their ongoing campaign to reduce class size is wrong. Here's why:
Smaller class size has no affect on the quality of education when the teacher is qualified. Ask smaller class size advocates why university lecture halls routinely seat hundreds of students.
Smaller class size dilutes an already thin supply of competent teachers.
The behavior of disruptive students is more, well, disruptive in a smaller class. And because teachers are basically powerless to control such students (a doff of the cap to the assclown lawyers) that situation isn't about to change in this generation.
Bad teachers will do more harm in a small class than in a large class.
Smaller class size only serves to inflate NEA membership rather than improving education. The primary mission of the NEA is not education. It's improving the teacher benefits. Much like the steelworker's unions weren't formed to improve the quality of skyscrapers. But yet countless parents allow NEA union thugs to dictate to them and their elected representatives what's best for their kid's education.
If the NEA really believed in smaller class sizes, with one-on-one being best, they would endorse home schooling. Which they don't. In fact, they are actively working against it. In other words, they're your typical leftist hypocritical fuckweasels.
BTW, Grandpa Knuckles, Old Man Knuckles, and a few Uncle Knuckles were all full time teachers. Brother Knuckles, several Cousin Knuckles and even Knuckles himself have taught or are teaching at the university level. In a recent study, 4 out of 5 Knuckles' educators agree that the NEA is less qualified to educate children than lap-dancers. The 1 out of 5 who disagree say the NEA is less qualified than crack whores.
UPDATE: Listening to Sean Hannity's show on internet. His guest Linda Chavez has just released Betrayal: How Union Bosses Shake Down Their Members and Corrupt American Politics, a book with way more details about the NEA and other unions. (Jeez, she shoulda called Knuckles before going with that generic title and chapter-length subtitle.)
