Teacher’s unions: desirable or not?
Matthew Yglesias addresses this question quite well. And his answer matches what I would say, overall. My take: teacher’s unions will not of themselves cure the ills of education, nor will those ills be helped by not having teacher’s unions. But overall, in the scheme of things, I believe that teacher’s unions work to make teaching more attractive and thus in the long run will be better for education than not having teacher’s unions. Yglesias’s answer is more specific and better overall.
