I would like to see us abolish the teachers’ unions, and open up the profession to competition - like virtually almost every other profession. AND allow school vouchers everywhere. If the existing schools can’t compete, they lose.
Teachers’ unions and the Dept. of education all came about in the 1960’s. That was a disastrous time for our country. My Mother, bless her heart, was so smart politically. I can remember her saying most emphatically, “This is a mistake. Teachers should not be allowed to unionize, and the education of the children should never be centered in Washington DC.”
How right she was. She was a proud Barry Goldwater fan.
Get government out of the education business entirely. The whole “accreditation” process is worse than the Food Pyramid. Why would a free people let government decide what an education is?
