My daughter attends a private school with no union class sizes are a ratio of 20 to 1. If it didn’t matter why do they limit class size in private schools? Also not all teachers are pro-union.
Parents have been trained for decades to identify small class sizes with educational quality. A widely held assumption is still an assumption.
“If it didn’t matter why do they limit class size in private schools? “
Because parents are willing to pay for that feature whether it helps or not.
“Also not all teachers are pro-union.”
Many I know are not pro-union. Most of those not only are not pro-union they *hate* dealing with the union and the regimented seniority and all that goes along with it.
“Also not all teachers are pro-union.”
Very true. I was referring to the union as an organization, acting in its own best interest. Those interests may, or may not always coincide with those of the teachers, or the students. The union only needs to have the support of 50% + 1 of the teachers.
