My four point plan for decent education:
1. Eliminate credentialing programs and requirements: complete waste of time and money, plus they weed out the smart people who can't abide the thought of wasting 1-2 years of their life.
2. Eliminate tenure and fire the worst 5% of teachers about whom there is a consensus that they suck.
3. Go back to traditional curriculums: lots of homework, lots of memorization, lots of reading the classics, lots of writing.
4. Zero tolerance for bad behavior in the classroom --kick them out of school, make it the police's problem that there are thugs on the street without babysitters.
This is how good private schools do it.
