Fixing public education is really stacked against us. Break the teacher's unions, get rid of the Federal Board of Educaiton, improve teaching degrees so that they are worthwhile, return to advancing a student on their merits, put kids in subject classes based on the student's level not age, are just a few of the biggest.
I think school vouchers are a worth a try. Give the government run schools some competition. The biggest problem is tying money to student achievement. Stop teaching to the test and teach students.
It might be worthwhile to look into homeschool curriculums. These resources have to be designed to what parents really want their children to learn. Some companies already work with schools and how to implement their products there.
You are right. A major obstacle is the fact the there is huge money pushing woke idiocy and anti -Western ideology. It permeates all curricula, across grade level. Administrators, boards, and teachers unions are absolutely in on the graft. There are time tested ways to teach the basic skills of reading, writing, and calculating that have been abandoned. kids are being damaged in ways that will last their entire lives because there is money and power in churning out new methods requiring new materials and an ever growing troupe of education PhDs. And barely literate subjects devoid of critical thoughts are so easy for a malevolent state to control. School choice and home schooling are necessary, now.
Having home schooled I can say it is labor and time intensive in a way many families would have a very hard time sustaining. When parents can direct their tax dollars to alternative schools, choices will appear quickly. It's a legislative issue people need to fight for.
I guess a cooperative group of families would be a great way to spread out the time commitment and allow the kids social outlets. When I was involved, it was mainly a religious movement that we didn't really sync with - only did one of my kids for a few of years, so I'm sure it was nothing compared to others' experience. Now I think there are more options, but I do think breaking the monopoly of government schools is so important.

We need curriculum.

We need people to run for PTA, and school boards.
