The real big story here is that a bunch of unelected amateurs with large piles of money have decided that they should go ahead and take over previously-democratic portions of the public sector. Perhaps the editors at Time lack the balls to pick that angle, or perhaps they simply judged that the angle would not generate the kind of clicks and sales that a tenure wars angle would. Time editors have put "Rotten Apples" in big bold letters on the cover. That just leaves the question of whether Time editors are philosophically inclined to give teachers a big punch in the face, or this will draw a large paying crowd."
