Unions don't serve a vital role anywhere, in any medium at all. It causes maximum pay for minimum effort.It is the primary reason. Teacher unions are corrupt in some places but they serve a vital role, just look at what is happening to education funding in republican states. It's not pretty.Lack of funding is blamed, it isn't the reason. Teachers unions and the fact that the government controls it in the first place are the actual reasons. Besides, there's less government involvement in Private and Home schooling, and that's resulting in better scores. No government involvement at all would make it better.The government is still involved in both of those things you know.Private schooled and Homeschooled students consistently score higher on tests. Plus the government can't really do anything right, anyway. Just look at the children being churned out by the Public School system.Not at all. I'm simply saying that there's no evidence removing the government from education produces greater results. If you have it, I'd love to see it.

Oh, and public schools primarily suffer from a lack of funding and states treating teachers like dogshit. I'm a child churned out of the public school system, I came out with a GPA of 3.9 and I am in college right now. I've had a positive experience in a rural school district in Kentucky suffering from funding, I know it's anecdotal, but still.
Believe me, I've noticed you're government educated.
Pathetic argument. Has never been true, well, anywhere. So you're telling me teachers that don't even have to get a proper background check would improve the education system? Regulations exist for a reason.Besides, there's less government involvement in Private and Home schooling, and that's resulting in better scores. No government involvement at all would make it better.
Regulations exist because the government isn't happy unless it's controlling things. In a private school, if a teacher is performing poorly, they can be fired and replaced. They have to keep customers happy. With the government, they get paid regardless, because of taxes. Also unlike government schools, private schools create self-sustaining jobs in an expanding industry.
Maybe you should study the history of unions and why they exist in the first place, as well as track the decline of unions which goes right in hand with the decline in the oh so precious middle class. The labor movement, and the organized labor movement which led to unions, was extremely vital and is still vital in many facets. Before labor unions, many workers found themselves working unreal hours, lacking bathroom breaks, basic retirement plans, fire escapes for their workplaces, although that's more of an issue with regulations that only exist because of unions.. Well, the list goes on and on. Saying unions produce minimum effort is.. lousy. Besides, you can't really define "maximum pay" in any framework.Unions don't serve a vital role anywhere, in any medium at all. It causes maximum pay for minimum effort.
Many regulations on business first came about due to demands from the labor force. You have to keep in mind that the government is made up of elected officials that, overall, actually listen to their constituents who have the power to re-elect them. The government isn't some evil entity, and regulations serve a very important purpose. Can you imagine if the government didn't regulate healthcare? Neither can I.Regulations exist because the government isn't happy unless it's controlling things.
Teachers are fired and replaced all the time in public schools, even with unions. Believe it or not, union teachers don't take kindly to other teachers performing poorly.In a private school, if a teacher is performing poorly, they can be fired and replaced. They have to keep customers happy. With the government, they get paid regardless, because of taxes.
All jobs are dependent on the government, if you'd ever bother to address where dollars come from.private schools create self-sustaining jobs in an expanding industry.
