Who’d a-thunk it? Student success is not ‘Priority No. 1′ for most unionized public school teachers?

Who’d a-thunk it? Student success is not ‘Priority No. 1′ for most unionized public school teachers? | AEIdeas:
"But in a distorted teacher union-dominated world you would be wrong, because student success is obviously not the primary concern of the public school monopoly.
Preservation of the status quo and a continuation of the current failed public school model, and preserving its power, are the primary concerns of the teachers unions and their administrative enablers, which now includes the New York mayor.
In the insane, upside-down world of public school unions, Eva Moskowitz is the teachers union’s Enemy No. 1 for daring to make student success Priority No. 1 at her successful charter schools. 
Unfortunately, it now looks like continuing and duplicating the success of charter schools including Moskowitz’s Success Academies will be much more difficult in New York City, and thousands of poor children will be casualties of the new mayor’s “War on Charters.”"
