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

True story---

When Jindal was talking about vouchers a local teacher here--a vocational teacher that was once "teacher of the year"--that is a huge union man was bitching about it to me. All the regular vitriol you hear from those people. He went on a minor rampage and then at the end he threatens "if they go all voucher I will just start my own vocational school and show them!!!"

I said to him, very calmly, "you understand that is exactly what I hope you do and exactly what I want you to do."

In that moment he finally grasp the opportunity.
