Unionization is not necessarily the problem. The problem is that the public's representatives have no incentive to bargain hard in the public's interest. I'm not arguing against public schools, but observing that the incentive structure is broken. Administrators of a public school district are hardly held accountable at all, so there's little downside to taking the easy way out and buckling to whatever demands the teachers' union makes. Charter schools seem to manage to strike a compromise, with the administrators and teachers held accountable by the school's stakeholders (usually parents).
