Proper school choice will do that for us. "I've worked in the private sector, they expect results".

They wouldn't last a year in the free market.

It terrifies me to realize how many people I know who are laughably unqualified to be teaching children, teenagers or college age adults - who do JUST THAT for a living.

Low expectations begets low results begets low pay begets low quality job seekers repeat cycle

Well the whole premise is they don't need to know anything other than how to read from the prescribed curriculum.

It's more like daycare than school.

Because public education isn't about teaching students how to think, it's about teaching them what to think.
