The only way to fix education is to get it away from being an entitlement and back to being something that is a privilege to do. The only to do that is to stop it from being free. School should be provided at 100% of cost only from K through the fifth grade. After that a child has to maintain a B average to continue their education for free. If a childs grades drop below a B average then the childs education must be paid for until it is above a B average again. Even if the child stays out of school or if the parent can only afford for the child to re-take one course then so be it. This will get the parents back involved in their kids education.
A few things need to be done, one, get rid of the department of education. Second, get rid of the teachers unions. Third, make only those who have kids in school pay for the education of their kids. No kids, you don't have to pay. See how fast parents get more involved in how THEIR money is spent.
The poor still won't pay. They will have to have a subsidy.
If they don't want to pay, then the child needs to maintain a B average. If not, then they have to pay. No subsidies for that.
