Sirs thinks that teachers are incompetent because they belong to unions, I think.
I hope that the next president will take a closer look at NCLB and also examine what has been done in all those countries where the kids outperform American kids.
I don't think that it serves any purpose to argue about how bad unions are for education, because there is no real chance that teachers will abandon the only national organization that will fight for them and their profession. I don't see businesmen cancelling their subscriptions to the Wall Street Journal or the National Business Journal, either.
Teacher unions are a given and aren't going away. Just like Iraq will always be over there in the Mideast, hanging out near Iran. Not gonna move. Live with it.
