Move away from the idea of large, government run schools. Get back to local, community-run private schools w/out union influence or interfernce, thus starving the unions to death.

It would be far less expensive and more efficient than the current system. It'll never happen, of course.

I disagree.

It is time to defund the public schools. Give the money back to the taxpayers so they can determine how best to teach their children.

It is time to close all the buildings. Sell them to corporate institutions who will compete for that new-found source of money that parents will now have.

It is time to fire all the staff. Let them learn how capitalism works so they can become really wealthy, too.

Gone are the days when everybody should be able to read, ‘rite, do ‘rithmetic. People need to learn how to become a contributing member of society.

THAT is what is missing from current, public education.
