Absolutely. The working conditions are absolutely horrible in
public education, not to mention how utterly crooked administrators
are when pushed to a wall. No matter how good a teacher you are, it
only takes one truly bad, sociopathic or negligent principal to ruin
your career.

Worse still, they have the courts in their pocket because the
taxpayers are footing the bill.

Public education should be about children, but it isn't. It's about
power, perks, and privilege.
