As a parent of a public school child, the husband of a public school teacher, and the product of both private and public schools myself, I must say I'm appalled at the degree of control taxpayers and parents have yielded to the political Medussa that is the public K-12 establishment.

I'm sure all the panelists very nice people. Listening to them, however, try to figure out how to tweak the bureaucratic recipe to produce the results they prefer convinced me that the public K-12 is not a candidate for rehabilitation.

We're obviously not going to add a little baking soda to the recipe and get acceptable results. The whole system needs to be dumped down the drain, and be remade.
