I agree that governemtn schools are failures and we should adapt new means to educate. We start with competition, we then dismantle the union, we then pay for merit/performance.

The merit/performance thing was proposed here where I live, and of course, it was rejected...thanks to the powerful teachers unions.

The problem is that we have all these factions (parents, teachers, administrators, government functionaries, so-called "activists" and "experts"), each with their own agendas...none of which have anything to do with actually educating our children.
