re: School Choice Will Lead to Higher Teacher Salaries--why do they oppose it?

Ill actually answer this.

Could it be they are all about the power of the union and not the interest of their dues paying members?

YES, 100% which is why I ended my LAE/NEA membership.

More school choice will lead to more schools and smaller classrooms and like in any industry create more competition and higher wages for talented labor---in this case teachers.

As you have in several threads already done, you are discussing theory. This is Louisiana. It will not work out well for anybody. Remember when they told teachers if you are found to be highly proficient for 5 years, you will get a bonus? I'm still waiting on my check.

I have NO faith that SoC will work well in our state unless we completely overhaul how we educate students. The JUMPSTART programs are a push in the right direction, but it doesn't go far enough yet.
