First off, Switzerland spends more. Jj was wrong, once again...


Second of all, the costs of education are not winding up in the hands of labor-- the problem lies with management, not the teachers.


I know most would like to think that the union is colluding with the politicians, but that's simply not happening.


The politicians don't give one rat's Heineken about the public service workers. They are too busy making deals with those that can grease their palms.


In the case of education, I'd look towards the book publishers, test creators, and the private companies that are being contracted by the different government education agencies. That's where the waste, corruption, and collusion is occurring.


Scapegoating the teachers is a defection in order to confuse the public on what is really happening.
