Less government in the schools is the answer! Let the Feds. give the people the money to run their own schools. When the people take over the schools, they can select the curriculum and the administration. Let me ask you one question. How many Rank 1 teachers are teaching in your school district? A rank 1 teacher is a fully qualified teacher that has a masters degree. The problem is that the schools are getting the money from the FED's. and squandering it. A local high school in my county was short on teachers. They received more money from the govt. to hire more teachers. They hired four assistant principals, and secretaries for the assistant principals, one of the secretaries is the wife of one of the assistant principals, and two assistant coaches. The school board is corrupt! The principal who is now recently divorced has been dating one of his teachers in his school since at least the beginning of the school year. This kind of administration has to go!
