Teacher associations are concerned about how the decline in student enrollment in Alabama public schools will impact their jobs. They are right to worry, as there will likely be a reduction in teaching jobs.

The public education system is not a jobs program, but some of those discussing this believe that it is. With Alabama parents being given more options, enrollment in public schools is likely to decrease; this is the primary reason the entities, the media, and their Democrats will continue to advocate to limit the options for Alabama parents.
