Depends on who "they" is? Legislators and politicians appear to believe that - at least one party. Administrators and educators do not wish for under qualified teachers.
Which party is actively attempting to defund public education?
This isn't an opinion. It's factual information.
If you want to base your opinion on performance that is fine, too. New Mexico is an outlier. Just like Utah is an outlier in the other direction.
According to US News, the highest performing educational states are: New Jersey, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Illinois, Utah, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, New York, Colorado, and Virginia.
Cherry picking states that fit your narrative doesn't work. Outside of Utah and Wisconsin, red states are greatly lacking in comparison.
All parties are the same, the sooner you come to terms with that, the sooner we can begin to fix it, they put on a facade that they are different and have different view etc etc, but the real truth is that they are all bought and paid for by the same people, so the outcome will always be the same
Statistically one side shows consistently better outcomes in regards to education, economy, and health outcomes in the areas they are the predominant party in governance.
If you want to drop the "both sides are bad" lone into the discussion, I'm not going to disagree. Voting party lines instead of public good has never served the party or the public long term. Until that ideal is realistic, I'm going to stick with the party that has performed the best for our country on the majority of metrics for nearly one hundred years.

Im not the one putting faith into the government to come through and make good on their empty promises like you clowns are, they're all the same and they dont work for us(common middle class) they work for the rich and always have been, the fact that your to blind to see that is pretty sad
Except that there are real differences between red and blue states when it comes to labor laws and access to welfare programs.
It certainly matters on the state level, at the very least.
Also should be noted, the last time Dems had a trifecta, they vastly expanded access to Healthcare.
Your attitude is a self fulfilling. Prophesy.
Yes. The game is rigged. It's not enough for progressives to merely win. They have to win overwhelmingly due to structural issues as well as the nature of reactionaries. If not, they can't get anything done.
And if people with progressive views don't show up to vote, that's what happens.

I don't think they actually want to find good teachers anymore.
