The powerful teachers’ unions have a particular influence because they always have a good marketing ploy. Who wants to turn down funding when “it’s for the kids.”
But a good portion of that cost does not go to kids, it’s for teachers. And those costs can be budget-busting. Yes, the public probably knows how much is spent per student. But how about salaries and pensions? And all for a part-time, nine months of actual total work?
I’m not picking on teachers. The same holds for other government employees. Especially the ones who retire well before age 65, and are double-dippers on grandiose pensions.
