Old, yes; but you are correct it's not old in the sense that it's irrelevant.

When reading that interview I saw Jobs as almost prescient.

For a great look at this, check out the documentary [1] The Cartel. He focuses on New Jersey for the most part, but he touches on how difficult it is to remove poor teachers because of the teachers unions (which fight for the teachers at all cost, and essentially don't give a damn about education).
One example given was of a 17-year teaching veteran- an English teacher that was illiterate! I'm not entirely sure how that happens, but anything is better than what is currently happening with our schooling system- and make no mistake, it's not an education system, but a schooling system as former NYState educator of the year John Taylor Gatto [2] argues [3-5].
