This is the best article I have seen yet on the Atlanta schools cheating scandal.

What to do about our system of education in the country is a difficult question indeed, but we can start by terminating the employment of every teacher and administrator in this district, and replacing the public system with some sort of voucher program that will give parents a choice as to what school they can send their kids to.

The teacher unions would hate it, but the only proven way to end this embarrassment is competition.
