The Teachers unions have too much power. In NYC where I was born and raised and had my career ( Lucky now to have escaped) No teacher ever gets fired, if there is "an issue" the teacher is sent to to the escape room a place they have in Queens NY and gets to sit there all day doing nothing while getting paid . And if it's really egregious they sit there endlessly. months even until they can send the problem teacher into another school

I didn't grow up in NYC but we had a teacher show up drunk to class and she did this for years - people grades ahead of me remembered her. She still wasn't fired and she was totally shitfaced all the time.

Yep, anything short of murder was "overlooked"

Wouldn't want to alert the public that there might be a problem with the education system now would they?
