Your attempts to blame unionized teachers and their unions for the problems
in our schools.


It is certainly a big part of it. When you have a structure that is
totally vertically integrated and incompetent people are kicked
upstairs only based on time in grade, it is a problem.
Good teachers are the first to say, the union makes it impossible to
get rid of bad teachers and that pay is not based on performance,
simply on time in grade and diplomas.


"Good teachers." Who says they're good? What measure are you using?


I suppose you could start with the ones who actually demonstrate that
their students learned the year's course material ... You know, the
dreaded "T" word.
