We need a war on lack of education in America's schools. So let's spend more money on education and warehouse the children for more of the calendar year in failed institutions of "education!" That ought to do it!
Oh, and lip service to getting rid of the bad teachers. Good job, President Obama, it only took you two years of Presidentin' to come up with that!
So what would YOU do, smartypants?
Disband the Department of Education and work to dissolve the teachers' unions. Restore control over education to the states (10th Amendment anyone?) and encourage the States to give control to the local municipalities. Abolish national standards. Place emphasis on the responsibility of the student to learn, instead of continuing to throw more money into a school that doesn't care what the students do. Try generally to not act like the pointy heads in D.C. that don't know the first thing about your child, know best how to educate your child.
Just because something must be done, doesn't mean the federal Government is the one who needs to be doing it. Education of the children of the nation is one thing the .gov does badly - so stop trying!
