They could solve most of the problem in these ways:

1. Vouchers

2. McGuffey's Readers

3. Saxon Math

4. Eliminate large teacher's Unions

5. Eliminate the Federal Department of Education

6. Merit based promotion of students

7. Eliminate "compulsory" education at age 12 while opening up the "minimum wage" and apprentice job market to teenagers

8. Eliminate today's awful Politically Correct study curriculums and student climate and replace with "American", not socialist, models (see #2,3 above)

... in other words, return to the things we used to do many years ago which made the American secondary education system one of the finest in the world, and add the benefits of technology.
