The teacher’s union and the majority of teachers are interested in tenure, high pay, and huge pensions. All of this paid for by regular people who make much less. The whole scheme is a racket which must be stopped.
This is a prime example of why public service unions should not exist. When I considered a vocation in the 60’s, teaching had the appeal of security, good benefits, and summers off as an offset to lower pay. Now, thanks to unions, they receive more than most workers and have little accountability for the results they produce. I say this with apologies to the dedicated teachers who are few and far between.
