I have lots of opinions of course, but the only two I will comment on would be first a slight tweak to the foreign language thing people are bringing up, I agree with that, but I would make those whose primary language is english learn spanish and those whose primary langauage is spanish learn english.
I also think schools really need to be teaching financial literacy. So many of our problems would go away if people understood money and handled it responsibly.
Unions in schools. I have never understood why they are necessary and it seems schools would be so much better and efficient without them. What is the purpose of a union? It's to protect the employees from an exploitive employer. But the employer in the case of schools is essentially the government, so why does a group of employees need protection from the government?
