Joanne Jacobs has a terrific article in the Christian Science Monitor about the founding principal of a new KIPP charter school in San Jose:
[Sehba] Zhumkhawala, at 28, is idealistic, ambitious, and eager to shake up the system. Before she can run her new school, however, she has had to create it from scratch - sell the community on the idea, raise money to supplement state funding, find a site, hire teachers, and, now, hardest of all, persuade parents to trust her with their children.Imagine the improvements we'd see if principals and teachers in existing public schools also had to treat the parents like customers.

Actually, I think any business that had a complete monopoly over its market, received double-digit revenue increases and glowing PR regardless of the quality of its product, and was run by elitists who were convinced that their "profession" was inherently superior and more virtuous than all others would probably end up treating its customers like annoying pieces of crap also.
