Immediately begin the process of privatizing universal K-12 education.

I'm certainly not against this but how would it be done? There are 75 million children in this country.

Do 2 things simultaneously:

1) Government schools should start charging tuition to parents who can afford it. Remember. If a parent paid for day care of the pre-schooler, they can afford ***at minimum** that much in tuition now.

2) Offer generous tax credits to parents and any individual or business who contributes to the education of a particular child or to a private education fund offering private vouchers to private schools.

Once there is a thriving private market in education ( in ten years), give the remaining government schools to the principals and teachers who run them now. The counties would continue to own the buildings and fields. The teachers would pay modest rest. The playing fields, gym, library, and theaters would be open to all community groups and their use scheduled by the county parks and recreation department.

Eventually, move to a completely privatized system of education with parents paying their own tuition and private charities providing private scholarships to private schools for the poor.
