That is one of the most idiotic statements I have read on SI.

And the sad fact that so many hold a similar view is indeed a savage indictment of the educational establishment in this country. As far as I'm concerned, the teachers union is indeed a quasi terrorist organization, bent upon feathering it's own nest and advancing a hard core statist political agenda. Educating our children is far down on their list of priorities.

Good teachers struggle against their union and the entrenched education administration bureaucracy. I tip my hat to them. The very best teachers have nothing to do with public education and opt for the freedom of private school environs.

Given a choice, most parents would send their children to schools that provide a real education, which is why the NEA and their political cohorts are so vehemently opposed to any meaningful school choice proposals...
