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.


Parents are the big and biggest part of it. Teachers are handed their
kids, along with all the problems the kids have, all the problems the
kids have in their home life, all the pressures society put on kids, the
financial problems of both parents, assuming both are at home, having to
work a job or jobs outside of the home, et cetera.


The school system is not allowed to address that in the curriculum
because the result would be racist. Montgomery County tried and that
is exactly what happened to them.
When they tried to give the "at risk" students extra attention, the
racial mix was unacceptable.
