Until public schools are more invested in earning the trust of families than they are in appeasing the demands of teachers unions, student learning won’t be their top priority. School choice accomplishes this. Competition breeds excellence & puts the focus where it belongs.

Public sector (government) unions wield their power and influence to push radical agendas and stuff their war chests. They look out only for themselves, and work against the best interests of taxpayers and the public at large.
Students, be damned.
Public sector (government) unions use their resources and political influence to help elect politicians — and then these politicians are beholden to radical union agendas. Government unions exist to serve themselves, not the public.
