well china's teachers are certainly "unionized" too!
In china (and europe) the level of education IS factored into "teacher union" decisions, that union is more integral to the government education body as a whole.
In the US - the teacher's union is very much a separate entity whose interests have little to do with the student's interests.

What do you think happens to a chinese teacher who consistently under-performs? I'll tell you right now their job isn't protected they way they are in the US.
In the US - they have most of the country believing that teaching is the one job in our society where performance can't be ranked or measured!
yet we can all look back to our own education and pick out all the teachers that should have been thrown out.
