Nice try blaming unions for an education system that's failing students! See how I turned that around on you? Simple answers are not to be found when talking

See how I turned that around on you? Simple answers are not to be found when talking about education.
You are falling into the conspiracy theory side of an education discussion almost immediately. You blame unions, then the government ("new legislation that restricts....").
It's frustrating really. I've rewritten the last part of this comment half a dozen times now. It's not worth arguing.
- natrius 17y agoAny entity that resists change to a broken system is at fault. Unions bear part of the blame for the current state of our education system because they resist reforms that most people think are likely to improve education, like merit pay. This is assuming those people are correct, however. Blaming the government also makes sense. The government runs most schools.
- jbooth 17y agoYeah but it's still simplistic. Let's just get the government and unions out of it.. then we'll have.. no schools and no teachers! The market will step in, somehow! Hand-waving!
