While in business, "product innovation is certainly important, and in some ways it offers the clearest economic payoff for innovation,"does the fact that innovation not only has no economic payoff for public schools but it is more likely to be punished than rewarded have anything to do with their inability to either reform themselves or to be reformed from the outside? Is it even possible to have any significant product innovation from public schools who are all controlled in the product they must produce by by a single, mandated set of curriculum standards and testing?
