The body of the text proceeds to identify and explain many
flashpoints which are current in a world of education where
students' best interests are hampered by teachers' self-interests.
Whenever an issue emerges in education and is analyzed in the
context of what is best for students or teachers, teacher unions
naturally pursue benefit for their members. This does not demean
their effort; rather, it explains their intentions, and making
their objectives transparent is a recurring theme throughout the
book. Dueck demonstrates that politicians are a core part of the
problem because of their predilection for siding with power
structures in society, namely unions and teachers rather than the
clients of their services. Their thirst for votes from teachers'
unions, which represent one of the largest special interest groups
within our communities, is not only a contributing factor in
causing but also ameliorating these flashpoints. Underlying this
thirst for electoral support is the reality that students cannot
vote and do not have capacity for discerning how these complex
educational issues impact them.
