NO system can guarantee that NO ONE will fall through the cracks.

I think a large part of what I'm reacting to is the concept that these
will be profit-driven organizations, perhaps sponsored by large corporations
looking for more skilled workers. That seems dangerous -- have you seen
Disney's Pocahontas?

I haven't seen Pocahontas. Why should the organizations necessarily be
run by corporations? They aren't now. Even so, what is necessarily wrong
with organizations run by buisiness? Buisiness is more accountable than
the government (for example, buisinesses can be sued much more readily
than the government).
