this bill unfairly targets our students and their right to a quality education that would allow them to get a good job and compete in the global economy,” Hays added.

I agree iwth Hays' statement saying this bill is going to cause our students to suffer as well because we are taking away the rights teachers so the quality of education will be lower. How can we expect teachers to teach with everything they have when they are expected to pay more for benefits, not be able to negotiate, and have a lower pay?

It's important, I think, to keep in mind that Hays is a teacher, so his opinion is heavily biased. It is not a fact that teachers cannot teach with lower benefits and wages. Is it fair for us to parallel ability and compensation? If every teacher did every job with an effort that matches his or her salary, where would we be? You ask how can we expect teachers to teach when they have to pay more benefits, have restrained negotiations, and decreased salary. My question is, how can we not expect teachers to teach? If teachers really have a calling, as Hays says, then shouldn't their jobs be to do the best for the students with what they have? Shouldn't this be a career about sacrifice for the benefit of educating children? Perhaps the lost of benefits and salaries is disconcerting, but should it reflect the teacher's ability to teach?

Taking perspectives from current teachers may not be qualitive information. Bias is often involved because they do not want to change their ways even if it is for the best.

Repo Man; Britni is saying that SB5 will cause our students to suffer because the teachers are loosing their rights and by taking away their rights we may not get the most from our teachers in the classroom. Holly is talking about how all of the rights, including salary, benefits, negotiations should not effect the way a teacher teaches if they are truly wanting to be a teacher.
