imagine thinking that teachers' unions care about anything other than keeping the most tenured educators on bloated compensation plans

Right, it's not teachers who care about education, it's billionaire developers! Who are you going to believe? Me, or your lying eyes?

In HS, my favorite teacher was given a pink slip because she only had 2 years of tenure, while the garbage teachers that everyone hated sat comfortably because they were mediocre for 20 years. Since then I've always voted against every teacher union.

And has that helped? Is putting a developer in charge of the Board of Ed going to help?

Insanity is doing the same thing over again and expecting a different result. Developers may not be better, but I don’t see how they are worse than a teachers union that doesn’t believe in transparency
