I'm not sure your claim is true, judging by the other replies to your post. Even if it is true, it was already replied to, and you just ignore the reply.

"As for teachers unions, strong unions do not automatically make for bad schools. Assigning all the blame to the teachers unions is at best an oversimplification, and at worst a distortion. But they do have a negative impact. They restrict competition and increase costs. In areas where everything else is going well you can deal with that and still have good schools even if you have to overspend to get them. In areas where other things are problematic, and the unions are strong, you tend to have more severe problems than just too high of cost (which is itself a large problem)."
