Education Policy & the 2012 Presidential Election | Capital Commentary by Dr. Ted Williams III.  MGB: The issue of school choice could largely be settled if a requirement to receive funds under the program were some kind of teacher representation, if not outright unionization.  This might do the teachers unions some good, since it would mean that not every local would be dominated by Democratic Party politics - which is a particular Republican concern.  Breaking the power of the NEA and ATF is part of the Republican educational agenda and this is an essential fact of education policy that must be noted.  As for improving education - until under-served parents are paid to undertake remedial education, whether it is for English literacy or remediation to replace welfare reform - there is not much else that will work.
