So how should we improve Utah's schools?

Steve Olsen at Utah Amicus:

I think most pro-voucher proponents are sincerely concerned about Utah's children. Hopefully, now that Utah's citizens have spoken, these concerned parents can join the rest of us in channeling the energy that has been generated in a concerted effort to improve public education for all Utah's children. The vote was a affirmation from Utahns that they support their public schools, which have worked miracles the last few decades with minimal resources. I couldn't disagree more with Patrick Byrne, whose petulant reaction to the loss of his pet project was to predict Utah's future would resemble Albania's because of our supposed failed education system. The end product of Utah's public schools — well-educated young adults who are the key ingredient in attracting the influx of business that has fueled Utah's impressive economic growth — is conclusive proof Byrne's pessimism is simply wrong.
