Get rid of unions and then the truth of useless teachers will next put pressure on allowing school vouchers. When parents can choose the educators via vouchers, there will be competition to get actual teachers. The problem will then be that good schools will have to be regulated by government to accept a percentage of the bad students that no school will want. Bad students will lower metrics on student and teacher success scores and ruin overall rankings. Somehow our US system got to the point where everyone gets a trophy/high school diploma in the dumbed-down system, and then therefore everyone can go the next step and enter college, even if not everyone should be going to college. The useless degrees become the ticket to the government jobs.
