<p>In our state, the teachers’ union is so powerful, my kids have had teachers who’ve announced they don’t plan to teach the class, because they can’t be fired no matter what they do. In fact, just this week a teacher acquaintance of mine says he only teaches the first ten minutes of every class. Lovely. All the same, I would never bash the entire teaching profession.</p>
