I often wonder why the teachers union gets so much blame for the education mess. If you hate all unions then I understand. I hate that they contribute to the rats, that do nothing for them. The TU does not set curriculum, or school policy. In Texas we are short 40,000 teachers. We can't be worried about certification or expertise, just find persons brave enough to go in and face the little “students”.

We don't have enough teachers in Georgia, either, especially in subjects like high school math & science, and in special education.

Apparently in the northeast, union teachers get paid much more than teachers in the rest of the country, and there's no shortage.
