Teachers, as a group, became teachers because they honestly wanted to make a difference.
As such, we're not going to "be a united front" and let our current students' education suffer in the hopes that our finances will be in better shape.
Educational reform takes forever. Everyone who ever attended school thinks themselves an expert, and too many of those non-experts have a say in making policy. That "united front" would take a generation to make a change, as does just about every other change in education.
That's an awful lot of sacrificial lambs.
It's simply not going to happen. The cost would be too high.
