Simply burning dollar bills would do more good than letting even a penny go to a teaching union.
Remember, when you absolutely, postively, undoubtedly cannot cut the mustard in college in any other course, you can always major in “education.” If the Obamadork’s mentor (and book writer)- Ayers - can get a doctorate in this silly subject, that says it all.
The teacher unions have ad after ad explaining what a wonderful job their members are doing here in Louisiana and how much they care for the children.
I don’t how much good the vouchers will do but folks, it does my heart good to hear the squeals of stuck pigs.
The long term strategy to destroy the power of the teachers union is to reduce the need for “skilled” teachers. This can be done by having the Dept of Education fund the development of a modular multi-platform course delivery engine. Then make this engine freely available for download.
Normally I’m opposed to using government funds in the education but this would open up a new market for quality education modules. This would also facilitate home schoolers to select the modules that work best for their student. In the classroom environment, this would enable the teacher to be more of a facilitator and even enable a higher class density.
