Maybe very few parents can afford private school. Could that have anything to do with it?

So mentioning union members is deflection in a thread about union leaders? You've outdone yourself this time.

I think there is something about money and how much many people have that you just don't understand.

Yeah. Look what they got for their money.

The topic was teacher union leaders' pay and you took off talking about labor unions. I really don't think I missed at all, but then I once belonged to the NEA till I wised up to what they were doing in politics back in the middle 70s. Where were you back then?

I took off talking about teachers unions in a thread about teachers union leaders pay. I'm inclined to think that your post is trolling

The U.S. has not always had public schools. It certainly was not the case at the time of the founding fathers. Why should I have to pay for everyone else's education?
