The fact that there appears to be a sentiment that spending on education equates to a 'firehose of money from flowing directly to the teachers union cronies' sounds like it is part of the problem.
- nugi 9y agoTo be fair, I know 4 teachers, and all abhor their 'unions'. Its crooked, but they fear the alternative (loss of collective barganing power) more. Its a self-perpetuating problem of actual well meaning people playing CYA.
