[quote=Anonymous]Why have schools in the US lost their edge since the 1960's? Is it the end of segregation? Could it be the fact that professional organizations of teachers such as the NEA turned into labor unions? From Wikipedia: "Before the 1960s, only a small portion of public school teachers were unionized.[26] But that began to change when, in 1959, Wisconsin became the first state to pass a collective bargaining law for public employees. Over the next 20 years, most other states adopted similar laws. The passage of these laws had a significant impact on NEA, which began to serve members as a labor union, in addition to serving members as a professional association. Passage of these new labor laws, along with NEA's new role as a labor union, helped NEA membership grow from 766,000 in 1961 [26] to roughly 3.2 million today."[/quote]
