The last time Chris Whittle "reinvented" schools, he found that he neither reinvented schools nor made a Corporate Profit. This not to say he Whittle should not keep trying. Educational methodologies need to be improved constantly. Improved. Not necessarily "reinvented".
Or, you could just concentrate on Corporate Profit--which appears to be what he's up to now. He wants to create a boutique school for boutique customers with international lives and parents with willing money to finance this dream. And, as the article below points out, he wants to locate where Demand Exceeds Supply. I am not sure which is the scarier thought: Whittle whittling on educational method or Whittle finally figuring out he will succeed where demand exceeds supply.
