They've been using them as pawns for as long as I know. Ontario Teachers have the largest non-sovereign pension fund in the world. The fund has a guaranteed minimum investment growth, if it's lower, the government fills it). They pay only 12% into it (used to be 8%, but if you listen to them they pay it all). They have incredible time off (and all fly to Cuba). They additionally use an average of over 12 "sick" days a year. Every 4 years, when their contracts need to be renewed, they go on strike.
It's always "for the kids". Talked to teachers I know, and they couldn't give less of a shit about their students. They just do whatever is convenient for them, including quickly giving up on students if they have any issue learning the way the teacher finds easiest. They've said this themselves. They're the hardest working people on the planet, and everyone who runs a business are all fraudsters, who suffer no risk. /sarcasm, but that's also what I've heard from them many times.
