Interesting argument for getting rid of government schools

Creative Destruction in Education has an interesting reason why we should get rid of public schools.

It starts off with the observation:

----------
For the most part, organizations are incapable of innovating. Most organizations are founded with a particular mission and method for pursuing that mission. If circumstances require that the mission or method be changed, organizations generally can’t do it. They’ll just keep doing what they were initially established to do until they can no longer continue operating.
----------

Public schools as they exist in the United States were formed a little over a hundred years ago.  The point is government schools are fundamentally incapable of fixing themselves.

The post concludes with:

----------
