Albert Shanker Quote

Quote from Albert Shanker,

"It is time to admit that public education operates like a planned economy.
It's a bureaucratic system where everybody's role is spelled out in advance,
and there are few incentives for innovation and productivity.
It's not a surprise when a school system doesn't improve.
It more resembles a Communist economy than our own market economy."
