I don't know where to begin. But our schools don't need more money; they need to be coerced into teaching. If they don't teach enough substantive and pertinent material, the States simply should disband the offending schools and send the children to a school of their choice that meets standards. In Pennsylvania, most "schools" have plenty of money, but teach nothing. I have students in a 400-level college science class who actually believe that 10 = 7. (They're failing miserably, and many appear to be cheating.)

First thing you should probably teach 'em is not to cheat off the kid who thinks that 10 = 7.
