I recommend that you watch "Waiting for Superman". It focuses on the charter school initiatives across the country and shows that maybe we should be running schools much more like businesses. When you see how poor the options are for many of these inner city kids outside of the limited charter school options - it's heartbreaking. Just like you'll see recommended on HN, if you're going to fail, fail early and get on with something that has a chance of working. Our government funded education system is a long painful failure that established forces prevent from being scrapped and reinvented.
