I just wanted to interject a quick comment re teacher unions. I think everyone is over-estimating their power.
In the county where both of my parents were teachers, the teacher's union was little more than a company union. It didn't really do much for the teachers, if anything at all. I know several teachers who were terminated even though they were part of the teacher's union.
Sure, it's probably not like that everywhere, but it just surprises me to hear about teacher's unions having such "power." (of course, it's also surprising to hear about teaching salaries higher than $50,000.)
Also, how can these teachers strike? I thought it was illegal for teachers to strike.
