(CNN) -- "I have a crazy idea": Those five words changed a simple meeting of school officials into the realization of Kim Ursetta's dream.

Kim Ursetta leads her kindergarten class at Mathematics and Science Leadership Academy in Denver, Colorado.

1 of 5 Ursetta, then president of a local teachers' union, blurted out those words 18 months ago during a meeting in the office of Denver, Colorado's, schools superintendent.

The other officials in the room leaned in as Ursetta leaped into a sales pitch that would turn an ordinary day into a highlight of her career.

"I want to start a new kind of school," she said, a union-sponsored public school led by teachers, not a principal.

I figuredt his would garner a bit more attention.

I would think it is very important for our schools to be changing the status quo.

Good idea we had far too much bureaucracy when I was in school (1 year ago) good to see someone took the initiative for once, bureaucrats and accountants don't run schools very well.

I don't know much about the US school system as I live in the UK, but from what I can gather it seems very messy. Or am I wrong?
