Charting a new path?

Cleaning out the blog posts in my google reader, I came across this post. The original op-ed piece can be found here. Now one thing to know up front: the original blog, Schools Matter, is very anti-charter and anti-KIPP. They forward along more stuff about how bad both entities are than I've seen in any blog. That being said, it is interesting to read, and provides interesting prospective. Read the post (as it has the op-ed in it).
