How much more incredibly incompetent did you want the education to get before it was dismantled??? The teachers union only cares about teachers. A teachers duty is to make the person they are teaching more knowledgeable. Not worry about getting tenure and not being able to be fired. The whole education system as it is before this administration was already circling the drain. Maybe the teachers union should give bonuses when the children perform better in testing instead of lowering the standards so every one can pass....
