You have been wrong on so MANY points, it's not even funny.
The "teaching unions", as you so ignorantly call them, teach nobody.
They are LABOR unions who have one goal in mind -- to advance and protect the interests of the teachers who pay their dues.
Same with "police unions" -- they are LABOR unions with one goal in mind - to advance and protect the interests of the police who pay their dues.
Those are what are called "fact" thingies.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

With respect to my reference to teaching unions, and as I duly explained, my reference was to the teaching profession. In other words unions established to defend/protect those involved in that profession."It ain't necessarily so

Now, you can keep on with your nutty prattle about "unsubstantiated opinions" with regard to the FACTS, but it doesn't change the FACTS.

What have I said about police unions or teachers unions that is false? You can't answer that!

A Simplified Overview of Teachers' Unions and How They Work (lawinfo.com)
Teachers Unions & Collective Bargaining
Disclaimer
A teachers' union is a special type of labor union designed to fight for the rights of educators. With roots dating back more than 150 years in the U.S., these organizations play critical roles not only in securing benefits for teachers but also shaping the way education works. For instance, thanks to lobbying by the National Education Association, or NEA, in the late 1860s, Congress created the Department of Education.
What Teachers' Unions Bargain For
Like other types of trade unions, teachers' unions use collective bargaining agreements, or CBAs, to protect their members. Over the years, collective bargaining has helped educators gain many rights, such as:- Fair working conditions, compensation, and pay equality
- Tenure mechanisms that prevented qualified educators from being punished for their personal biases, political beliefs, or other unfair reasons
- Access to various benefits
When it comes to education policy, teachers' unions also work to ensure that educators can fulfill their job duties in the face of tough odds. For instance, the NEA played a critical role in shifting the focus from federal policies like the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, which included 2001's No Child Left Behind Act, towards alternatives like the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015. At the same time, education policy is a very politicized issue, and not every lawmaker is onboard with the kinds of changes that teachers seek. These differences of opinion mean that individual educators may be subject to a variety of laws depending on where they are in their careers.
Absolutely nothing in there about the children - it's a LABOR UNION to protect the adults.

The simplistic comments that have been offered [and summarised by me as "Blame the liberals" and "Blame the unions"] tell us precisely nothing."It ain't necessarily so
The things that you're liable
To read in the Bible
It ain't necessarily so."
