• So long as public schools are treated as places that exist to provide guaranteed jobs to members of the teachers' unions, do not be surprised to see American students continuing to score lower on international tests than students in countries that spend a lot less per pupil than we do.

• I believe that the teachers unions are doing exactly what they're supposed to be doing. They were designed to be professional organizations that protect the rights and privileges and pay of their members. The problem is that we don't have an organized national interest group with the same heft as the teachers union that's advocating on behalf of children.

• Los sindicatos de profesores que bloquean la reforma escolar han dañado gravemente la marca sindical. El público ya no ve a los sindicatos como sus amigos, y mucho menos como sus defensores. Los ven como corruptos, intransigentes y más interesados en proteger su influencia política dentro del Partido Demócrata que en proteger a sus miembros o incluso a los escolares.

• We're not spending enough money, but probably we let the teachers unions set curriculas which don't teach them the right things. There's not emphasis on the ...the basic learning that you need if you're going to go on in a college and into post-graduate work.

• Just as members of American teachers unions often send their own children to private schools, so unionized workers at government-run hospitals in Britain have insurance that allows them to go to private hospitals. In both cases, those on the inside realize how bad these institutions are, regardless of what they say to those on the outside.

• In the current environment, attributing low student performance to teacher tenure is one of the great unproven causal links out there. The relationship just hasn't been examined very carefully, but we should all recognize that in higher education the strongest institutions generally have the most robust tenure systems, and in elementary and secondary, the states with the strongest teacher unions (and tenure systems) tend to have the highest student performance.

• Most blacks want school vouchers, but most liberals vehemently oppose them. Why? Because what is good for teachers' unions is of more importance to the Left than what is good for blacks. Who, then, is racist? By their own admission, and by the policies they pursue, the answer is the people who call themselves progressive.

• Teacher unions are an interest group that acts in defense of their own interests, which means the union bosses' interests, not the members.

• Los sindicatos de profesores son el ejemplo más claro de un grupo que ha perdido el norte. Cada vez que alguien se atreve a proponer una idea nueva, los sindicatos son los que más protestan. Su actitud fue expresada de forma memorable por un antiguo presidente de la Federación Americana de Profesores: Dijo textualmente: "Cuando los escolares empiecen a pagar cuotas sindicales, entonces empezaré a representar los intereses de los niños".

• Ningún segmento de la población ha perdido más por las agendas de los grupos liberales del Partido Demócrata que la población negra. Los sindicatos de profesores, los fanáticos ecologistas y la ACLU son sólo algunos de los grupos a cuyos intereses se ha sacrificado a los negros al por mayor. La pésima educación y los altos índices de delincuencia en los guetos, y las viviendas inasequibles en otros lugares con restricciones de construcción, son precios devastadores a pagar por el liberalismo.

• [Betsy DeVos] does care about charter schools, which are public schools. She does care about choice, which is a perfectly legitimate thing to care about. It's because it's the one issue where the Democratic donor base was really energized, which was the teacher unions.
