Eliminate public schools. Take the chunk of money from property taxes that funds this to be used for tuition and make schools private.

Okay, now I'm having trouble understanding you.

Would the students whose parents don't pay property taxes (or pay low amounts of property taxes) not be able to go to school, if their parents couldn't afford the tuition?

Maybe everyone wants to go back to the days when the teacher rode in on horseback, spent a day in the community teaching 10% of the kids who could afford to pay, assign homework and say see you nx week. Even as terrible as everyone claims education is in America; I believe denying basic education to all of America's kids would be much worse for our country in general. I don't see how education can be privatized without such a scenario down the road; too many parents would not fund their child's education without it being provided by the government.

I live in a rural state with many bush schools. The feds are currently working with my state to provide a general test for long time teachers rather than specialized certification. Future teachers will require certifications in specific areas. Doesn't surprise me though, making changes already; all the politics corrupting the system.

We just had a family bring all their kids back into the school system. They didn't pass the benchmarks. I see many homeschoolers abusing the system, unlike the dedicated people on FR. That is why I believe eventually there will be certifications required for everyone. I'm sure you know and have witnessed what I'm talking about.
