Teachers’ unions are dens of corruption and self interest. They despise children and taxpaying parents.
This is coming to a head here in the NYC metro area because many public school parents understood their children weren’t learning anything in school but they at least had “free” daycare (and often lunches, sometimes even breakfasts) - and now many have been without it for many months. Those public schools are 2/3 of our sky-high property taxes, and we went from receiving little to receiving nothing - but the taxes (and corresponding rents)haven’t fallen.
