Will they break with the teacher's union? When the school board stops negotiating with the union, it'll mean citizens have control again. I'm sure many good teachers will be happy to do so.
That is a long story. Short answer, no under current conditions. We were also a leader in the common core program (the precursor to this shit). Many of the "old style" teachers got out, moved to private or whatever. Then the little sheeple started coming out of college, nice and brainwashed with the SJW programming. They replaced the ones that left or were fired. Now we head into this generation with 3 groups; 1) Old school sheep, that went along for decades because they are lazy. 2) new school brainwashed sheep 3) a very small % of teachers that toughed it out, just kept their mouths shut, very few of them will speak publicly. The school boards have been infiltrated. Superintendents are very high paid here, money county, they are puppets and part of the political landscape. As I stated Eli Lilly gave these folks $2.1. It's all money and power, even in our schools. The citizens will need to bust this shit show up by making serious noise, pulling kids and continuing to "show up". Anyway, likely more than you wanted to know, but helps me to get it off my chest.
Yeah, you have to fight the fight you're in. I understand that.
I appreciate the response. It's a similar situation in most places, with the percentages of old teachers vs new varying significantly. It's not easy ever, but it's the only solution if we want public schools at all. It's revolting how reliably and brazenly shameless the teachers can be (not all) with politicizing the kids whenever they can.
Private schooling is a useful escape for those with enough income, but abandoning the schools and the taxpayer money to those who can't afford to flee just allows the problems to fester. Vouchers are a good way out of the problem, but the unions and admins fight those tooth and nail behind closed doors as well. (Chile is the only country I know of with no public education; they manage alright, although there's a lot to be said for well-managed public schools.)
Public sector unions are a pet issue of mine, which is why I brought up that angle. Unions are a good check against abusive employers in the private sector, but that doesn't hold in the government sector. It's clear that for any public service, unionizing the employees is a recipe for corruption of one type of another.
It's a bad situation, but encouraging that folks are rising up. Keep fighting the good fight!

Thank you fren for the reply and agree 1,000% in regards to the union issue. We're going to win, we all are. Take care.
Great thread, solid insight.
Any teacher who won't give up the commie union shouldn't work.
