The public school is not your father's public school. These unions are running those schools like you would run a coal mine or an auto factory. They're like industrial unions. They are just simply in the grip of a straitjacket that does not allow the principals to choose the good teachers, put them where they want to. And as a result, they're in decline.- Dan Henninger, deputy editor of The Wall Street Journal's editorial page. From a transcript of "The Journal Editorial Report" on the charter school movement.
