Teachers unions are a part of the problem—but that’s been well covered. What hasn’t been covered very much is how often parents—usually upper middle class and upper class ones—sabotage the education of lower income children by taking the resources for their own kids at the expense of others. This article makes a good start of pointing that out. Teachers unions aren’t powerful everywhere. The ones you hear about tend to be in major metropolitan areas. However, upper income parents taking for their own kids through districting, charter schools, etc. are nationwide.
What are you talking about, "taking the resources"? We paid to send our kids to private schools because we wanted phonics and discipline. We didn't take anyone's resources. Our state has now instituted a school choice bill, is that what you're referring to?
Can you elaborate on this point? I'm not sure what you mean by "taking the resources for their own kids at the expense of others," in this context. Perhaps you can give a specific example to help me undertstand.
