Unions will never allow our children to have school choice. If the children are educated they are much less likely to join a union as adults.

[brianpatrick1975]

Most of Europe allows for school choice. Teachers unions have destroyed US education.

@jakesegers

HAHAH. So true. 

[bjarnet3]

If you cannot teach kids, maybe you should find another job,,, it is not the end of the world,, im sure they are good at something else...

Set the kids free from public monopoly school or at-least attach the money to every individual. Then the kids get their education they deserve...

[grumpone]

Its true for quite a number of countries but unfortunately not all.

[grumpone]

I am from Europe and the children in public schools do not excell. The countries that have a voucher system in Europe have the best schools and the best performing high school graduates.

The kids and their parents can CHOOSE which school they want to patronise. Not all European countries have that system, but should.

Obama hates you stupid people.  Get over it and vote for a conservative.

School choice and unionization is a moot point in other parts of the world, because as a culture, they prioritize education much more than the US. You need to take entrance exams to attend HIGH SCHOOOLS in some Asian countries. Teachers often have to take tests to prove their worth. American teachers will NEVER accept the ultra high standards and expecatations common in S.korea or Japan, whose students clean out our clocks.

FREE THE PUBLIC SCHOOL KIDS!! The U.S. Federation of Teachers is the largest donors to Democrat politicians. Thus, Hillary is against vouchers for us, but she sends Chelsea to superior private schools. The public schools aren't good enough for the Clinton's. Democrats love to control people. The cost per student per year at LA Public is $11,600. The cost per student per year at the private school in my neighborhood is $5,500. Vouchers=Competition. Competition=better products at lower prices.

I would argue that the majority of people that these unions employ lack a high level of education (Truckers, Steel Workers, Dock Workers, the list goes on). If these same people were educated as engineers would they need to join a union? I think not.

[brianpatrick1975]

I appreciate you being respectful. I do not know why teachers unions in Europe are not opposed to school choice. But here in the states the teachers unions are opposed to it. In most of Europe the money is attached to the student not the school system. So if a family chooses they can move from system to system (even private) and the government funds follow the student.
