Matt Rosenberg in today's Seattle Times has an update on charter schools:
Instead of creating public charter schools in Washington, critics argue, just give today's public schools the freedom and flexibility that make charters so attractive to supporters.I agree wholeheartedly. Unfortunately, the most important part of that freedom and flexibility entails emancipating all of the employees from the labor unions, which is also the last thing that any of those same charter school critics would be willing to accept.
