From what I read, a lot of the students are transient, moving around all the time. They barely speak english in some cases. I blame the parents for that more than the teachers, because they're sacrificing the child's education. But if they have to move where the jobs are to live, I can kinda see it from that perspective too.
The reason they were ALL fired was because they're all Union. Even if some of the teachers were fine with it, they wouldn't be allowed to break ranks [become a scab] and say they'd stay. The school has to negotiate with the union rep, not individual teachers. While they might have been able to negotiate different terms with different teachers, the union discourages individuals from negotiating contracts and other business matters themselves. That's what you're paying for when you join.
It also says she has the ability to hire back no more than 50% of the previous staff. So the ones who WANT to work, don't mind the extra hours, or at least want to keep their jobs, can be hired back, but only half of them. Seriously though, they are getting paid GOOD for teachers, and I'm happy they do get paid well, but I'm NOT happy at the reason why they're getting paid so well.
