Sure, it creates that. But so does owning an oil well. Having a more personal stake does not inherently make your intentions (or capabilities) better. Why not require principals to have a child in the same school?

What is unique about education that having a personal stake in policy making would be a good thing where we consider it, at best, a neutral thing and frequently a bad thing in pretty much all other areas of policy making.

I'd be much happier if Texas elected E.O. Wilson to establish a biology curriculum than the local pastor who has 14 kids in the various public schools.
