Because the debate is never set in terms of “better education” vs “teachers preference”. It’s “give more money for teachers so they can give better education”. When there’s a tradeoff, it’s usually of the form “better top-performers education” or “more equality on education” ? I don’t see teachers unions arguing that school vouchers are good for children but should still be outlawed. I see teachers unions arguing that school vouchers are bad for children, and They’re The Experts, so outlaw them.
I don’t expect that tactic to work when the alternative is a literal superintelligence.
