Non-union private schools can innovate at will, but so far it's not clear whether any of them have found a solution that works better than the one in place at public schools, while also satisfying the legal requirements put on public schools to accept all students, etc.

Last I heard (twelve months ago) the results for "charter schools" were statistically no different than any other.

There are anecdotes to support the point of view they are bad, and anecdotes to support that they are good.

The source of funding does not seem to be the problem. The quantity of funding, definitely.

And unionized cannot? Maybe my children’s school is unique but the teaching there is radically different than my own.

A couple of years ago there was endless complaints about new ways to teach math.
