Better retirement for teachers ought to fix this.
I have faith in the government.

"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
i agree, lets use the internet and set up a new educational system. time to evolve.
Try not to get you panties in a wad, it's a flawed measuring device.
I's a valid idea, but I fear the social ramifications. People already can't get along because they don't know how to act and deal with other people. Take kids out of schools and remove them from having to deal with issues on their own with their peers....can you imagine how shitty the world could get?
So you endorse the Feds ability to run a productive/efficient education system, but...
...just not their ability to "measure" their production/efficiency.
Do you listen to the things that come out of your brain? I'm serious.
The Feds don't run the education system. But I see you're heaping credit on a federally created program.
Geez, man... no offense, but... you are really difficult to understand sometimes.
Like debating with a.... well, nevermind.
Where am I losing you? The Feds set out some guidlines and determine where federal $ will go. No Child Left Behind incentivizes and penalizes schools through funding allocations based on a flawed measurement system. If you disagree, then tell me how the federal government runs the educational system.
You're giving credit to the measurement device created by a government agency, most likely because you agree with the conclusion that public schools are a failure. If the goverment said "this or that public program is successful", my guess is that you would poo-poo the statement and distrust the message since it would be coming from within.
What comes out of my brain regarding public schools is that some do a really good job, some just okay, and some are really hurting. I don't live in a black-and-white world where I try to find false comfort in the belief that the government can't do anything right, and privatization is always better.
I didn't realize the libertarian model was homeschooling only

also, it seems as though your comment implies that homeschooling doesn't work...If that is how you feel let me ask, what is wrong with homeschooling? if a parent can teach their child better than a public school, why not do it?

The initial lottery money in 1985 was supposed to go to 'Supplement Programs', outside of the state's education budget. This is why Long Beach Schools, for example, got a new atheletics field for extra curricular programs, but not money to fix/expand the aging classrooms.
Our wonderful State Legislators figured the Lottery Money was part in the Education Fund... so they slashed education as 'Budget Cuts'.
If you want to see the lottery distribution (look up your San Diego School District):

Remember, The Lottery was intended to supplement the existing Education Budget... which would have been able to cover the costs of classroom supplies. Our legislators cut the education budget to fund the 'Hookers and Booze' budget.
Hail, Hail!!!
