Put the education back in education.

I quit teaching just for that very reason - it's not about educating kids any more. Hasn't been since the unions got a stranglehold on it.

Just try to tell the average parent that though - they are clueless and don't want to get involved.

I went to a rural public school but was lucky enough to have teachers who were there out of a love for teaching. It made a big difference.

This is key. Those who control the unions control education. Any teacher the union likes cannot be gotten rid of. Any teacher the union dislikes will not be retained. Any teacher who does not follow the party line will not be liked by the union.

The first step is to eliminate the teachers unions. Wisconsin has done a good deal to accomplish this.

Another step is to eliminate the Federal Dept of Education.
