Teachers' union an embarrassment to education

 Thomas Lifson:

I don’t think there is any fixing anymore that could cure the problems of government schools (incorrectly called “public schools” in this country). The only solution that has any prospect of restoring the availability of quality education for all children in this country is to start funding children with vouchers for parents to use at the schools of their choice. Parents have the best interests of their children at heart far more than do the bureaucrats that run government schools.

So corrupt has the education industry become, so low have fallen the standards to qualify as a teacher in government schools that the head of the American Federation of Teachers proudly published a tweet demonstrating a complete lack of understanding of the fundamentals of arithmetic.

115% of mothers with young children left their jobs in 2020 because of childcare responsibilities.

...

In addition to being an appalling math dummy, Ms. Weingarten is also a scapegoater of Jews. She is a childless lesbian, trained as a lawyer with no classroom experience, and on top of that, is an admitted plagiarist. 

...

The teachers' unions have not made schools better.  In fact, they have largely been trying to stifle education in some jurisdictions because of Covid. They have done great damage to students in blue states run by Democrats who have gone along with their laziness.
