I am not American but the few stories of US teachers unions I have seen seem to suggest that the teachers do not want to teach the students. That would explain why they are against private schools, they would quickly reveal the corruption and incompetence of public schools.
When my mom was a teacher all the teachers handled the administrative duties for the school. Slowly but surely that turned into its own org, of administrators who outnumbered teachers, got higher salaries, and dictated everything. Teacher's Unions are all about protecting the useless administrators, who leach off the taxpayer.
