Then the children would get worse education than they already get, it would be years until the pressure got enough to actually change anything in the administration, and then longer for it to have any effect on the funding that schools recieve from the government.

It's not some problem that can just be hand waved away because they should have handled it better in the first place or something. This shit has measurable effects on outcomes for the rest of a person's life.

The issue is that the consequences of any strong action from the teachers disproportionally effects the students, with little to no direct effect on the people that would need to be involved with improving the situation.

But sure, go off on how teachers are failing students by stretching themselves thin trying to keep students from being screwed over.

Same shit as telling schools to stop blowing absurd amounts of money on sports: it's not nearly so simple. A lot of that money comes to the schools in ways (grants, etc) that legally obligates them to use it for sports and not where it would be more effective.

But no, the true reason things suck couldn't possibly be because shit is fucking complicated. Everyone is just too dumb or cowardly to do things the way you identified as the solution.

I sincerely hope you grow to understand that most shit like this wouldn't be a problem in the first place if any old layperson's "hot take" idea could actually solve it. People are stupid, but not that fucking stupid.
