Undo teacher's unions and sever the public's positive relationship with government? Our public schools are great right now.

Demonize teachers(they are overpaid babysitters) create resentment of teacher pay and benefits being paid by taxpayers and dangle "choice" ie privately held charter schools, in front of people to make them believe that public funds should go to for profit schools.
