[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]2 things: unions and demographics. Heck look at the demographics of all of those southern states and get back to me. [/quote] All of those European countries who outscore us on the international tests have much stronger teaschers' unions than the US. Interestingly, basic freshman economics points out that unions are economically efficient when there is a monopsonistic employer, in this case the state. Otherwise the monopsonist hires too few people at a wage that is too low compared to a competitive labor market. Freshman economics alsdo points out that you don't attract more competent people to a profession by breaking a union and paying them less.[/quote]
