This is the real problem. I'm not fond of unions, but they are the one thing that keeps society from just blaming the teachers and keeping up a revolving door of college kids coming in, teaching for 3 years, getting scapegoated, fired, and replaced with newer, even cheaper 22 year olds. Without unions, that's what you'll get, because it's the easiest path. Parents won't take responsibility. Administrators won't. Teachers are the easiest target. We're the soldiers on the frontlines, the most expendable. Cannon fodder.
We have teachers in our family. I understand the situation well. They have a hard line to tow at times. I understand what you are saying about the unions but there are some real problems with some of the leadership in the higher ranks right now (I have identified more than just a few protesters / activists that are union leaders doing research who were former university students; this is something I stumbled across that I thought was nothing then found out there was not just a spark but a fire started). Maybe if they’ll clean that up and some of the associations that have contributed to getting the students to turn protesters to march at their schools on this anti-Trump stuff. IMO unions getting students to protest a president’s election using the professors or even suggesting it should fall outside the scope of their job duties. I can understand if they told their employees to strike but we’re talking students here who are not under their authority. I think they have clearly overstepped their boundaries.
And that our Children are mandated to go these school(communist indoctrinating centers) and our income is taken from us at the point of a gun to pay the salary for these bureaucrats and union member that don't have competition which would hold them accountable

The problem is 22 year old’s teaching period, they haven’t even grown up themselves. And let me say heaven forbid that a government employee have to work in the same environment as private employee’s where you actually do get your arse fired for poor performance or simply get laid off when the economy goes south. Under no circumstance should any city, state, or federal employee’s be allowed to unionize. When these unions go to the bargaining table the one person not represented at that table is the person actually footing the bill. In the private sector the owner has a major seat at that table. FDR knew this and is the reason he despised government unions.
