Just some ideas...

1) Encourage at least one parent to stay home and raise the kids
2) Dissociate school assignment from residency
3) Teach kids to find passions, ask questions, and get answers with help
4) De-emphasize higher education for all except specialized areas

What else? Throwing money at a failure will only turn it into an expensive failure.

LOL, I wish I were a kid. Time is a non-renewable resource. I wish I have more.

How can I tell your physical age? I can only infer your other age from reading your posts.

Okay, so no examples at all of what bad teachers do that is wrong?

I mean, come on, we can't label people as bad teachers without SOME sort of indication about what exactly they are doing wrong.

The invisible hand will set the price.

Teachers are not tomatoes in a bin in the market. The free market does NOT always work.

If it was a free market, teachers would also have the right to reject and accept each kid. If the system worked that way, I think teacher pay would soar high above where it is now.
