Lots of alternatives exist, including privatization, or elimination of the national bureaucracy and handing jurisdiction over to the states or counties.

I thought you were recommending home-schooling as the solution. But isn't it the case that most schools are run by their local school boards under state supervision?

No. The part I'm objecting to here is the bit about Schools being an "organ of the government". Any solution that makes schools not an "organ of the government" is to be desired.

The feds have heavy involvement, because they fund it heavily. The department of education, created by Jimmah Carter, also has a lot of power over the local schools.
