The teachers’ unions must be utterly broken and destroyed.
Could not agree more FRiend. Unfortunately I do not believe that will happen in my state (California). Even if we succeed in recalling Newscum his successor will be just as beholden to the teachers' unions. The prognosis is likely better in the red states.
Any and all good teachers will find jobs in the new systems that will be developed.
If only that were so. As it is we face a shortage of any teachers, let alone good teachers. The older, more experienced teachers were the most likely to leave the profession because of health concerns during the pandemic, leaving behind a younger pool.

“The older, more experienced teachers were the most likely to leave the profession because of health concerns during the pandemic”
Some of those folks might return to their profession in new circumstances. I can see that being in a big school is not ideal, even if it’s mostly young kids. But of course you are going to run into parents, delivery people, etc. who are coming in from the outside randomly. But in a smaller setting it might work. Like a few families getting together and hiring a teacher.
