To be a Democrat and be against real educational reform which helps poor children must be terribly embarrassing. Two years ago, those nearly 2,000 parents in D.C. had no hope for a better future for their children's education. Today they do. As more and more evidence mounts that school choice works, especially for inner city kids. And parents see how frozen minded and uncaring Democratic politicians, tied to the NEA are, Republicans will garner more and more black and hispanic votes. The tide has shifted Tiger; choice is a solution for the future. No, it's not a panacea, but it does offer hope and a future for many children. Organizations need an "Urgency to Change" if they are going to sustain continuous improvement initiatives. The monopoly of public schools, tied to government funding sources instead of their customers (parents and children) will tend to always take the path of least resistance. Which means institutionalized mediocrity. The same things which infect private enterprise monopolies, effect government monopolies. See the light Tiger, free the people, let the parents choose what is best for their children. Government schools don't have to disappear if they are meeting the needs of the parents and children. The customers can decide. Meeting customer needs has a funny way of improving organizations. Michael
