O'LEARY: "As an individual who worked in the education system for 14 years, there's a 10,000 high schools in America. Majority of them are New York, Florida, Texas and California. Our reading and math scores are the worst in the G7 and the G20 in terms of how many dollars we spend to advance our children. Why? Unions. Unions that keep mediocre teachers in place in every high school in America when we should be firing them. You want to talk about whack as our theme of tonight's show? I would like to fire teachers — wait, wait, wait. And I'd like to pay a lot more to the teachers that advance math and reading scores, that push our system forward against every G7-to-20 country. We have broken the system long ago through unions.“
