Yes, and stop increasing funding of education until they start using the money for the students instead of the ditsy administration!!!
since you got me going...let's junk the entire funding system and go with vouchers. give money to parents and let them pick which schools to send their kids to. this will force parental involvement, but more importantly, will bring about a private school system that can actually not take disruptive students. but don't worry, the market will be there for disruptive and drug using students, so schools will sprout up that will "educate" these kids, albeit with a dose of discipline. and everyone will in the neighborhood will know that school X is a school for troublemakers. many parents will be embarrassed to say their kid is in school X and they might even take some proactive steps to help their child.
Unfortunately every school bond passed, despite extravagant mis-use of those funds and rediculousenrollment fees for public school enrollment. It was over $300.00 to enroll my daughter (6th grade) this year on top of all the supplies they want her to bring (~$45.00 worth(and that's at wall-marts prices!!)) I thought the point of public education was that the government would pay so that every child would be entitled to the same education regardless of their ability to afford it? (yeah, I know, the real reason is to indoctrinate them all....I meant the excuse)
