Summary


My wife has been a life member of the National Education Association since the mid-1960s. In 1971, she retired from teaching to become a full-time mother and a teacher of one. In 1976, she suffered a massive stroke and has been unable to teach since then. Although she is unable to write this letter, we have discussed it, and she is in full agreement with the sentiments expressed.

Over the years, we have received numerous mailings from the NEA, mostly offers of unneeded life insurance or, on a more sinister note, offers for yet more credit cards (which, it should be noted, often lead to poor financial-management skills). We have regarded the NEA as the premier educational organization for teachers, especially in its competition with the American Federation of Teachers for union representation in institutions with which I have been affiliated.
