Re: "That's what the public school system has become ... a repeated and consistent failure."

People who preach such overlook the partial successes of public schools, especially in large-city school districts, through the use of charter schools, magnet schools, International Baccalaureate programs, etc.

I was very pleased with the public education my kids received K-12. One of my son's classmates two years ago scored a perfect 36 on her ACT. That doesn't happen if public schools are NOT doing their job, correct?

Re unions: Sorry, they ain't the problem. Enron and GX created all their own problems with no help from unions. What is really need is an infusion of ethics in the upper levels of Big Business. Big Business corruption now is a far greater problem that union corruption ever was in the past.
