Just watched this John Stossel special on our school system in America and was completely blown away. I cannot even fathom unions having that much control as the teachers union in New York apparently has. Maybe this is due to me being from the south and not really knowing or every dealing with unions, it just seems ridiculous to me. I really hope we can figure something out as a nation to help improve the quality of education we are providing for our young.
