Good article, thanks for posting. Sure hope Trump implements many if not all of the suggestions.
Grants ans scholarships to private education and home schooling. We have a lot of vets out there who are educated and can get teachers licenses and teach primary school.
While I am on education, mandatory civics from grade 1-12. Start out with things like Rush Revere and build upon it till grade 12. Includes Federalist papers, Constitution, Declaration of Independence and Government. We are a great country with a illustrious and sometimes not history. Also teach STEM from an experiential perspective.
For high school, I would add business courses as well as clubs like DECA and Youth Entrepenur Academy in every school. Local business leaders can run it. My son did DECA for 4 years and came away with incredible knowledge.
