    Where would a stimulated leader start, improving Mexico? Maybe education? Just one among many, for sure.

    Can you provide readers with another of your excellent analyses of the current teacher squabble involving the announced improvement program?

    Here's a link to the Mexican teacher strike. A sad commentary on the activities of what should be dedicated folks interested in their youth and their own country.

    Hi Charlie,

    I'm not sure education is the best place to start, but it certainly needs to be high on the list. The Morelia teachers union is more a group of radicals than educators, a scenario that is all to evident in Mexico.
