When my mom and dad went to work the existence of unions played zero role in what they were trying to accomplish day to day. Yes, they existed, but our views are coming from two different points of view. If you think you know more about the inner workings of public education day to day than I do dream on. I lived it.

The problem is you are looking at it solely from your own personal experience. No one said that teachers unions are 100% responsible but they have to take the lions share of the blame. They are the single most powerful bloc involved with education and the huge national unions overwhelm the local boards and set up systems and rules that squeeze every penny they can into their coffers often at the expense of the students.
