Looks like their collecting too much in dues. Reduce their dues and teachers all receive a pay raise. My grand kids go to a Montessori school. It is expensive and my grand kids are brilliant and light years ahead of where I was at that age. I am a product of public schools and had great teachers. Part of it may be genetics but I am convinced much of it is the school and teachers. My grand daughter was just tested this year at the age of 11 and didn't test below 9th grade and actually tested as a sophomore in college in one area. If they were to go to public school they would remain bored for at least 3 years. Public schools need more competition not less. High standards are only a threat to the poorer teachers.

Teacher's Unions have destroyed American education. Unions and over regulation by the federal government have crippled an entire generation of young people and eroded schools around the country.

SSgt Joseph Baptist government employees shouldn't be authorized to form unions. If you want group bargaining power, go into the private sector. The you are working on the taxpayer's dollar, you better earn every last cent.

SSgt Joseph Baptist see, that is exactly why it should be easier to fire teachers, administrators, everyone. There should be regular reviews of performance and efficiency and skills. There should be set paygrades just like every other government position. Frankly, education should be as privatized as possible.

SSgt Joseph Baptist there should be a system of checks and balances but no government employees should be allowed to unionize. The fact is that they work for the citizens and so they should always be worried about getting kicked out of government service. Therein lies the biggest problem with most of government: it is damn near impossible to fire these people, the VA is a great example of this outside of education. Anyone and everyone in the government/working in the public sector should constantly have their feet to the fire.
