As for teaching kids, the thought has crossed my mind and it stops each time not because of pay scales but because I would rather teach adults.
I'm gonna have to step in and bite here.
When Dan's parents are in an union, it does NOT mean that he's pro-union by default. Dan has looked at both sides of the issue and develop his own opinions on it based on what he has read, seen, and from those who are experts in those issues (example: researching both sides of the issue from various news sites, and even going to ask the Political Science professors at his school, which he explicitly mentions in this thread). Your assumption that "Oh, your parents are in a union, therefore you must be a union supporter" is just outright logical fallacy. I could (and anyone could) pick you apart for that and further discredit you; you might want to be careful about how you word your arguments because you're now treading the fine line between logical arguments and logical fallacies.
