There are plenty of Democrats, including much of the current Administration, that are willing to take on the teachers unions.

And Democrats seem to be the most likely to just propose throwing more tax dollars down the toilet of a failing system than make any changes opposed by the unions.

If, like me, you have kids in public schools, then you are less likely to see spending more money on the public schools as throwing it down the toilet. Lower teacher:student ratios are better. To get those lower ratios, you need to hire more teachers. Are there any Republicans who are willing to admit that spending money on a problem tends to help? I agree that money spent on public education should be spend well, but there are not a lot of Republicans willing to take the time to try to make government work better, at least at the higher levels. They want to starve it.
