Review of The Cartel (2009) by Saul D — 15 Apr 2010
Many people are 100% pro or anti Union and this strongly colors their perception of this great movie. Of course, not all Unions are created equal, and the teachers unions exist in a special niche of the American economic system.
The movie does a great job describing problems with the Teachers unions and what they do to the American education system. Clearly there are many other problems for American schools, but people are typically unaware of how the system really operates.
Everyone wants better schools, but they parrot the refrain 'we need more money'. Completely missing the source of the problems. Spending more money on American education is like giving money to a gambler to fix the problem. The problem is the system, not the funding.
Anyone who cares about their kids education should see the movie so they see a more nuanced argument than 'give us money'.
