Point was that seniority system does not breed inferior pilots or teachers. It's simply an accepted method for doing things in a fair, orderly way.
Well yes, it's a bad combination in the education industrial complex.
Do you think just saying that makes your point compelling? Why don't you support your assertion with some facts, a comparison or something, anything. We're trying to have a discussion and all you have injected is unsupported statements. - On 18 Aug 2012

thomaswong.1986 says
If the union system works, we dont have a educational gap or spending problem and a high number of kids are graduation with excellent results. so why are we looking for foreigner workers ?
Well, it doesn't seem to have worked in your case, I'll give you that. In addition to not following the gist of my argument, I think your logic is highly faulty. You're concluding that because many kids are behind it must be the fault of the unions. That's a real leap and only marginally, at best, supportable. Again, 95% percent of teachers are fine. Union or no.
I was educated in public schools (and universities) with union teachers and I think I'm able to function and produce well. By your logic, that would mean that unions DO work.
Or am I a lone miracle?
I agree that the process for getting rid of clearly incompetent teachers needs to be streamlined. I can tell you that none of my fellow teachers support leaving the few bad ones in classes. But, to simply blame unions for all of America's educational woes is reactionary and ridiculous...in my publicly educated experience.
