I graduated in the last year before the fed took over education in this country.  I never had a teacher that was a member of a teacher's union.  Consequently, I graduated from high school with an ability to read, to write, to do mathematics, to think critically, and to seek knowledge for the sheer joy of it.


I would estimate that my high school diploma from 1964 represents a higher level of education than a BA or possibly an MA today.


As teachers were not protected by unions at that time, I would say that I could count the bad teachers I had through high school on one hand and have a couple of fingers left over.
