Nerd News: Breaking the Public Education Monopoly in Los Angeles

First there was this encouraging story, and now Reason has a follow-up. Video here.



Choice and competition spur improvement in quality, folks, and -- frankly -- LA public schools are so awful that they need all the help they can get ... from the private sector. The public one's done more than enough harm already.

I am not sympathetic to the California teachers' union if it cannot and does not improve schools. OK, and I'm going to say something really heretical: all too often, these unions are more interested in their own selves than in the students or the quality of education.
