How much of the problem is the educational system giving kids boring useless crap to learn? Then testing to see how much boring useless crap they memorized.
OK, there are some good ideas and discussions in this thread (not counting the teacher bashing/public school peanut gallery that say the same thing in every education thread)
I like Foxy's idea about letting each state or district meet their needs for education. And of course, editec and she hit the nail on the head about communities involvement, along with family, where schools are a success.
