For teachers unions, it is all about getting as much money as possible out of the taxpayer. Much of this money is re-allocated to administrators instead of teachers. Most people can discern who, what, where, when and why. They can still be scammed, but over time some get it figured out and some don't. If you come out of public school system and never look at opposing view, you will be exploited. Exhibit A, "rock the vote", "hope and change". All those youths jumping on the Obummer bandwagon now very sad and unemployed. Similar situation happened with Carter then swing to Reagan. Probably will happen again.

You either get good teachers, those are well paid. Or you get bad teachers, which are badly paid. AFAIK, teachers in the US public schools are rather badly paid. [/QUOTE]

@ beowolf
if right/left are 50/50, that is not a nation in stagnation. that is a "moderate" view of utopia! Or call it a political equilibrium. But it is rare to have it last very long. There are always forces in play.

Not if they block each other in government to a degree that nothing can be done anymore. Democracy and a working society is all about compromise and the willingness to take a step back from your own convictions.
