This is equivalent to asking corporate management to fire itself. The ONLY time that happens is when the company is in fiscal crisis and in danger of corporate death (bankruptcy) and there is no other choice. The difference between private corporations and gov't entities is that corporations can't go back to the bottomless taxpayer well to get more money. Not usually, anyway. They get into trouble, but bail outs usually come in one form or another. If they were faced with reform or extinction because of poor educational results, the changes you suggest might actually occur.
