You blame the teachers unions. Nonsense. It's the targeted funding to programs that work. Bush -yes, Bush - threw tons of money into the useless No Child Left Behind program that encouraged the very thing you decry. Yes, we need proper funding, appropriate funding.

I hate Obama, Bush, Congress, Senate and Clinton all the same. I blindly follow no one's agenda but my own. Pointing the finger at the NCLB is ludicrous, at least it was an effort to hold teachers accountable and was authored by Miller and Boehner if my memory is correct. Also was very popular among both parties (no doubt the left side was lobbied to love it since it would get $$$ into the pockets of the unions).
