You can't fix a system that is this broken without a major overhaul. I mean a MAJOR overhaul. School has become an arm of gov't, another bureaucracy shuffling the beans (kids) through the system. You can't make a kid learn if he doesn't want to or is missing the basics that he never got way back when. So they get shuffled through. You can't "mainstream" a special needs kid that can't read or talk or hear or who has other developmental disabilities and stick him in a classroom with the "regular" kids and have him do anything but fail. It's not that our kids are all stupid, it's the system and our society/culture. It's over regulation and meddling and micro management from gov't. It's unfunded mandates and teachers that can't teach or don't care to try and a system that crushes the good teachers under the heel of conformity. It's making school take the place of home for so many and conflicting with home for others. It's administrators that never taught, never had a kid of their own and weren't particularly bright to start with.
This is what I get from my wife the teacher. We started homeschooling our kids this year.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
