Over 20 cities across the United States are scheduled to have protests tomorrow, including Chicago, Dallas, New York City, and Los Angeles. Prominent teachers unions are supporting the “actions” including the Chicago Teachers Union and United Teachers Los Angeles.

So, they demand that competition be banned, accountability be banned, students be made less safe, plus loads of cash.

I don't think this will play well with many parents of students and taxpayers. Or at least it shouldn't ... .

No Work, No Pay.  Simple as that.  Take the Reagan approach, fire them all if they refuse to work.  There is no shortage of teachers.

Public teachers (schools) get 80% on average more money than Private Schools per student.... (memory serves me 15k to 8k)....

Close down schools and government saves money paying private schools to take over.

Exactly. Treat them like rogue ATCs.
