In the not-so-distant future, parents will be able to buy their children an education produced under the same competitive stresses that gave us cheap LCD televisions, the iPhone, Lipitor, and Phillips Exeter Academy. Block-heads paint the public schools as a sacred cow, vouchers as undemocratic, and unionized public school teachers as modern heroes. Were trains so holy that today there are no planes? Was cotton so consecrated that we lack polyester? Likewise, the monopoly local middle school should not consider itself a temple. We cannot...
