You shouldn't try to put your thumb on the scale in the direction of having them confused for the rest of their lives as well.
But my point is that, you know, teachers are having their rights violated, not just parents and kids.
And if you look at where the money goes, yeah, a lot of it goes to the union.
And, you know, now teachers can keep that money in their pocket, not give it to the union.
Like, why would you not do that?
join the teacher freedom alliance opt out today.com but if you look at overall spending in american public schools since 1970 we have data on this per student spending has increased by about 170 percent after you adjust for inflation so it's a huge increase in spending to about twenty thousand dollars a kid now which is about thirty percent higher than average private school tuition right now and
Teacher salaries, we have data on that as well from the National Center for Education Statistics.
Over the same period, had the teacher salaries increased by 170%?
No, they haven't.
They've only increased by 3%, basically haven't changed.
And so when teachers are saying, you know what?
My hands are tied.
I have to deal with all the BS mandates and you're not even compensating me well.
I have to dig into my pockets to give supplies to the kids each year.
I kind of feel bad for them.
The problem isn't with their competition.
It's not the private and charter schools.
The problem is their employer is a monopoly that has no incentive to spend money wisely.
So it goes towards administrative bloat.
We have data on this since 2000 for the administrative bloat.
