West Virginia obviously has HORRIBLE schools, but they are also a DEMOCRATIC (blue) state.
West Virginia has no excuses.
True. There only hope may be to start voting Republican….that may help.
I would say that unions play a big part in poor schools. The teachers in union schools are so stuck on union issues (for the most part) that education of the students becomes secondary and often indoctrinating students replaces education.
Our teacher’s unions in Michigan have been among the worst and its nice to see them starting to crumble. I knew it wouldn’t happen overnight but I knew it would happen after the passage of RTW.
