Once upon a time teachers unions #1 priority was the kids they taught. These days too many unions care mostly about themselves especially in NYC which cannot get rid of teachers who have no business being near children. They have a building full of teachers on their payroll who sit and read books all day while getting paid their salary.

Perhaps if NY held their teachers to a certain standard they could get rid of useless ones and pay good teachers a better salary.
