That fact that public schools are a shambles in this country is fucking insane given how much we purport to value education. Also, it's fine to bitch about unions. They're not all perfect and there are certainly trade-offs. And (like anything) they can be perverted and misused. But overall they've done great things for the middle class in this country and we should all be very wary of powerful forces trying to hobble them. Especially when it comes to teachers and education.
