How To Fire An Incompetent Teacher
That's touched on in Stupid in America. Stossel is pretty far right libertarian, so take it with a grain of salt, but he makes a lot of valid points about overly powerful teachers' unions and how private schools have done it better in a lot of cases. My opinion is that secular charter schools are the first big step in the right direction, if not the answer.
