Look up the NYC School Teachers' Strike of 1968 leading to school board decentralization. Thus began the descent into astoundingly unqualified teachers and their effect on minority schoolchildren.

Unfortunately there's no perfect, or decent and durable, solution to these problems because of, you know, human nature. The corrupt always drive out the well-meaning. Everywhere, in all times, in all places. This is a never-ending struggle.
