Abolish public schools. Abolish Dept of Education.
Allow local communities to find principals, teachers, and custodial workers, hire them, give them a mandate, and leave them alone to educate.Forbid them to belong to a union.
Allow the principal to deal with 'problem' kids, with corporal punishment. Send the corrupters to a juvenile disciplinary center, and keep them there until they are 'trained'!
I liked your ideas until this last sentence here. The problem is that such correcting centers don't seem to be very effective in correcting youth. For delinquent (sp?) young people, I personally would prescribe either:
1. Catholic school (if there's nuns)
2. Boot camp
