Opinion: The teachers union is the problem in Los Angeles Unified
Anyone concerned about the state of K-12 public education in Los Angeles should consider that the problems start with the teacher union.
After all, they say, the average support staffer – including bus drivers, cafeteria workers, janitors – only makes $25,000 a year.Never mind that 75% of the support staff are only part time. Forget that they work only 180 days each year. And ignore the fact that already turned down a massive 23% raise.The support staff probably should get a raise.
With an activist-first mentality, it’s unsurprising UTLA’s president doesn’t believe in learning loss, which she told Los Angeles Magazine in 2021 as she and her union were pushing to keep students out of classrooms. Instead, Cecily Myart-Cruz thinks learning loss is a “fake crisis marketed by shadowy purveyors of clinical and classroom assessments.”
