From the Wall Street Journal: "The authors believe there exists a magic bullet that is capable of shattering the unions' political power and, at last, bringing the sort of reform and excellence to U.S. K-12 education that might make U.S. students competitive with Finnish teenagers. The ammunition? Technology." The irony? As a commenter just pointed out on my blog, 96 percent of Finnish teachers belong to a union. Perhaps the WSJ should contemplate the possibility that its misguided campaign against unions is the problem.
