Teachers' Unions have effectively crippled the American educational system. No longer can teachers be fired for being incompetent. Now they get to stay unless they do something like molest a student. That is bunk, no matter how you look at it.
In addition, the fact that teachers have little to no control over the kids in their classroom is garbage. I like particularly how a ridiculously large amount of 'learning disabilities' have been stapled onto kids who are out of control. They don't have 'learning disabilities' they just know how to control the teacher and the classroom. People like that should be kicked out of school entirely. I understand their are exceptions to this, but for the most part it is untrue. Also, having math classes below pre-algebra in high school is unacceptable. If you can't do basic math by the time of high school, drop out now and save some cash. Also, having remedial reading classes and reading classes for kids who are from another country and can't speak english is a total waste of time. If you can't speak the language, then DON'T MOVE TO THIS FREAKING COUNTRY.
