#3  Check that. More like public service unions are their ONLY priority.

It's hard to file all the corruption from them.

#2  IMHO government shouldn't be running or subsidising schools.

#1  Jerry Pournelle had these semi-cynical comments:
Education: about half the high school dropouts come from fewer than 10% of the schools. One of the results of Gates Foundation research is that one of the biggest improvements we could make in education would be to eliminate the worst 10% of teachers. Alas, union rules make that impossible: in California we have fired fewer than 40 teachers in the past decade. I do not believe that the California system level of competence is that good...Of course that will never be done. The unions are part of the Ruling Class, and they are not about to let go.

Where is Madame Defarge now that we need her....
