Teachers shouldn't boom in boom times, and they shouldn't bust in bust times. What benefit would be served by allowing education to rise and fall with the economic climate?

What? Did teachers take a pay cut, did the union get less money? Did I say they should take less money?
You don't think spending should be controlled? Would it not be wonderful if we had one teacher per student?
Economic woes are not in the least affecting teachers. Teachers are asking for more money right now! Massive recession, yet the OP wants more money.
That money was spent during an economic boom. That money should be cut back but I am not saying that. I am saying they want even more during a crisis.
Teachers salaries in Alberta are based off an economic boom. Teacher site cost of living here! Yet when the cost of living goes down what do they say? We need more money? Cant have it both ways!
