For teachers unions, it is all about getting as much money as possible out of the taxpayer. Much of this money is re-allocated to administrators instead of teachers. Most people can discern who, what, where, when and why. They can still be scammed, but over time some get it figured out and some don't. If you come out of public school system and never look at opposing view, you will be exploited. Exhibit A, "rock the vote", "hope and change". All those youths jumping on the Obummer bandwagon now very sad and unemployed. Similar situation happened with Carter then swing to Reagan. Probably will happen again.

You either get good teachers, those are well paid. Or you get bad teachers, which are badly paid. AFAIK, teachers in the US public schools are rather badly paid. [/QUOTE]

@ beowolf
if right/left are 50/50, that is not a nation in stagnation. that is a "moderate" view of utopia! Or call it a political equilibrium. But it is rare to have it last very long. There are always forces in play.

Not if they block each other in government to a degree that nothing can be done anymore. Democracy and a working society is all about compromise and the willingness to take a step back from your own convictions.

Couldn't disagree with you more. Money has nothing to do with teaching ability. It may have something to do with getting the teachers to motivate the kids, but that isn't teaching ability. There are dumb teachers and smart teachers. There are dumb teachers that can motivate and smart teachers that can not motivate and the reverse of that. It's about instilling ambition in the kid to want to learn. Once you do that, they will learn because they want to. Frankly, the whole usa public school system needs an overhaul to reflect the changes in technology (i.e., internet and computers). There is no reason much of this couldn't be done from home school. Save a lot of money.


Sure compromise to a point. But not at the expense of your principles. Just because USA isn't doing what you want. It's not doing what I want either, but at least I live here. My vote gets ignored all the time because I live in Kalifornia.
