obama said that we need to spend more on education?

[djominous20]

when we already spend billions.

shouldnt the solution to fix the system be eleminating the teachers unions so that bad or underperforming teachers can be removed from the system?

teachers across the country go on strike every yr to get more money some to shorten the yr but yet our education is still far behind the rest of the modernized contries
i agree witht he parents that goes with out being said, im talking the small group of teachers that are horrible and are protected under the shield of the union
solution so you get your talking points from hilary, no museums have shut down , scientist arent rounded up and shot , so whats this war you talk about

Federal government out of education is the first step even before dissolving teachers unions. The catch22 is that there is going to be a shortage of teachers and less pay decreases those that would go into teaching which increases the shortage. Education is top heavy and needs less of the money going to the bureaucrats and more to the teachers. The teachers themselves need a grassroots movement to demand accountability by merit pay otherwise they are part of the problem. Unless they realize that they themselves are a poor teacher in which case the low pay should make it easy for them to find a better job. Bottom line, put the districts more in charge because they actually care about their own kids more than just caring about kids in general.
