Yes, you’re right. It couldn’t be that./s
No kidding. I had to wonder after dforest’s post...what is the history of union intrusion into the K-12 teaching profession since WWII?
I would have to guess it was quite small before then...
Also, the “federalization” of education culminating in the execrable “Common Core” BS has something to do with it.
When school hiring, firing, and curriculum decisions were kept in the school district/local level, things were better, IMO.
