It's more about opening the door to vouchers than it is about failing the teachers.  Some of it is an effort at union-busting.  Republicans don't like the teachers' union, because the union never supports them.  But teachers, at least in the places I've lived, are not obligated to join the union, and a large number -- perhaps a majority -- don't, because it really doesn't afford you anything.

More than the economic views, it's a Republican game to get vouchers for religious schools, so that they can dump taxpayer money into the coffers of their winger donors.  That's how it was all run in Florida.

Where's your motherf*%&ing flag pin?

I agree about the voucher thing, but about ten years ago or so, --the last time Adrian went to school there-- class size in St. Petersburg was around 30.

Useful talking follows experience, the more experience the better. Talking that precedes experience is known as bullshit.
