You might look into how much money is invested into education in the south, the level of corruption in relation to the investment and also compare the tax rates/base of communities that have better schools. Unions aren't a consistent variable. Demographics and the tax base have much more to do with the quality of education that do teacher unions. And all you have to do is ask a few teachers to confirm that. Accountability trumps entitlement.
