Quote:True but, even then, politicians cater to the teachers. It doesn't matter if they're Republican or Democrat; they're always doing whatever will get them the most teacher-votes. 

LOL What?  When do they cater to teachers at all?  They have little to no focus on education. Teacher Salaries are low.  Class sizes are high, despite teacher complaints. Then you have common core, which many teachers have opposed.  No, they're never doing anything that will get them the 'most teacher votes'. The right panders to the religious right and major corporations, while the left panders to environmentalists and socialists.
