"If the abuses are really bad, you'd no doubt attract a lot of other disgruntled employees who'd prefer to work for a better company."

So uh, that'd pretty much be like a union, right? A group of people effectively saying that they won't work under certain conditions? ;)

I suspect we'll fundamentally disagree on the first point about parents voting with their feet/wallets, since that kinda describes the private school system, and I'm a firm believer in the same education being available to everyone (freely, if possible, and cheaply if not).

I'm a firm believer in the same education being available to everyone (freely, if possible, and cheaply if not).

A popular conservative position is to give all students the same educational opportunity by allowing parents to take their children's education dollars to private schools.

I'm aware of that one. I suspect the parents who can barely afford materials for voluntary fee public schools may disagree however ;)

(Of course I suppose the conservative counter to that is to get a better job, and that they'd have enough money if taxes weren't contributing to education dollars :)

Not like a union at all. Unions do not form businesses. Maybe they should, then they may come to realize how difficult running a successful business can be.
