And when it fails to give us an educated population?????
Repeal and replace!
Few industrialized nations spend more on education than we do, yet we don't even make the top 10 in results. Public education has its place - but the system is outdated. We need a longer school day, a longer school year - plus a broad spectrum approach to school choice - vouchers, charters, virtual classrooms - an all of the above.
Do away with public sector unions. As a member of a teachers union for 25+ years I can assure all that the focus was not on educating children. If the government itself cannot be trusted to be a fair employer and provide a safe work environment - then what can they be trusted to do?....a rant for another day.

Yes! And eliminate public pensions.
Give them 401Ks and end unfunded liabilities.
The government match should be made immediately, not promised decades down the road.
