The Worm in the Apple: How Teacher Unions Impact American Education | School Reform Debate & Policy Analysis

My father has been in HR for over 25 years dealing with a lot of different unions in the private-sector. There was a stint where he was HR at a school district that was considered good. I never seen him so stressed and upset from work those years. The teacher union's backwardness and bubble-world and the spinelessness of the school board bemused him. They don't live in the real world. He stood up to the union for years, but they eventually got what they wanted like the devolved spoiled children they are when he finally was burnout by them and left.Anyway, through indirect experience and anecdotes, I'm not surprised by what I read in this book. It was very informative. I recommend it.
