That’s a problem, School get funding based on how many student signed up into the district. Body count is more important than teaching.
I would do this a different way. I was raised in a household where the belief was if something was radicalized, to get back to equilibrium you must go 180 degrees in the opposition direction. In a sense, two wrongs if they are opposite will in fact make a right.
My proposal is this. Every teacher gets a 20% raise the minute they leave the union. If the union disbands, the raise becomes 25%. It is not for the school year, but the entire year. With that money, they can buy their own health insurance and contribute to their retirement benefit plans like the rest of us do. School districts can negotiate plans with insurance companies from anywhere in the country.
During the summer break, every teacher will be required to take an online course about the US Constitution and Declaration of Independence and pass a comprehensive exam based on the grade level they are teaching. During the first week of the new school year, teachers will be required to teach civics to their students. Based on grade level, the lessons will become more comprehensive.
Teachers will be bonused and metrics will be implemented grading teacher performance. Student evaluation at the beginning of the school year will determine the teacher bonus from the previous year. This way they cannot cheat. Based on the metrics, if a teacher does not achieve a satisfactory grade, they are first put on probation then dismissed.
Finally, every NEA officer will be brought up on charges of endangering the welfare of a child and sent to Gitmo to teach civics to our guests there. (I threw that one in there as icing on the cake.)
That's a problem that's easily solved. Federal funds for education go to the parents, not the school. Parents can decide where to send their kids. Competition ensues. Teachers unions very sad.
