Exactly, no one had the cajones to touch on it it but the unions are the obvious problem. Rhee was interesting to watch she knows the real problem as well.
Last year I watched a cSPAN special on education with educators, two stood out, the rest were clearly the problem, not the solution, one who stood out was Rhee. She was making strides in DC until Obama and now the voters cut the legs out from under her by firing the Mayor who supported the change she was trying to bring. The other was the man in charge of education in NOLA after Katrina and he was basically 1000% pushing charter schools and said that is was the model they were using in the rebuilding in NOLA after Katrina. IIRC he got a job in Chicago after Obama took her buddy to DC, I thought it was a difficult fit for an innovator to be thrown into the Chicago lions-den. The rest of that education panel were full blown unionists and they are the problem. I support Sharon Angle and others running who want to undo what Carter started — Federal control over our education.
