If teachers' unions in Texas were as powerful as people think, then teacher pay would be higher and classloads would be lower. They don't even have the power to collectively bargain or strike in this state. If you want to blame anyone for the current state of education, blame the administrators and politicians.....teachers haven't had much say in it for a long while.

Keep it like that! The teacher's went on strike for two weeks at the last school my children attended. All for a 4% raise. They got it and the next year the school had to lay off 17 teachers and a bunch of support staff. They cut college prep classes. Class sizes increased, the teachers ended up having a harder job and the students had a poorer learning environment. Union got paid though.
I could not be happier with the schools my children currently attend. Teachers are so helpful and competent. Campuses are well kept and beautiful. I now know what school pride feels like.
