This writer suggests that Chicago drop its ties to its failing public school system.

I mentioned in class yesterday that we would probabaly never see another defined benefit plan and the writer suggests they adopt a defined contribution plan. 

If this idea catches on it will change the public school landscape. With more parents deciding on home schooling and Districts not being able to afford this, how long before we have a Black Swan Event in public schools. 

This reminds me of a similar event in another period of stagnation when Reagan simply fired the striking Airline Controllers. We have not heard from that group since.
