Ouch. Harsh but true.
Comparing schools to small companies and principals to CEOs, [Jobs] asked rhetorically what kind of CEO can’t hire the people he wants, get rid of workers who aren’t performing or pay better workers more.
American schools “have become unionized in the worst possible way,” Jobs said.
Until that is remedied, he said, schools won’t be able to attract the best teachers and administrators.

I can't believe you are agreeing with him. Do you actually want to corporatise schools?
I too agree with the comment, but I dare say this is more in keeping with my philosophies than with yours (I could be wrong).
Generally if there is no incentive to work harder, the average person will not work harder, regardless of whether it is for a good cause or not.
