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.
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?
The same holds for other government employees. Especially the ones who retire well before age 65, and are double dippers on other grandiose pensions. (See the Earl J Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole tweets.)
