IT and Egalitarin Working Environment

I am re-reading SLL now with the lens of school administator. A Harvard professor, Shoshona Zuboff is quoted in SLL by stating that she is not observing the egalitarin working environment which she says is a result of management not wanting to share authority and power. In some school organizations, I observing this lack of the egalitarin environment which I attribute to the standards movement in accountability of student achievement. Why? Competition has evolved among teachers not to get non-disabled students for fear that test scores from these students might not make the grade on the teacher's performance. I wonder what would happen if all teachers got special education students, general education students, and gifted & talented students equally? I would hope that the true teachers would surfaced within the learning organization.

Also in SLL, Ronald Coase states that organizations develop when the transaction costs of contracting, evaluatiing, and enforcing are lower for it than the individual. I think case could be made that IT has allowed the homeschool network to boom because the transaction costs are lower for individuals.
