California Schools ?

This is lifted from an article by George Will.

"The education code, by which state legislators micromanage California's thousands of schools at the behest of teachers unions, is, Poizner says, 2,000 pages "and growing rapidly." He is disgusted that more than half of the 600,000 employees in primary and secondary education are not in classrooms. The most "telling statistic," he says, is that in Los Angeles (where one in three school dollars goes to teachers' pensions) 25 percent of public school teachers send their children to private schools."

What has gone wrong or what is going wrong with the schools in California?
Mr. Will's has provided us with fodder for thought!
