throwing money at the problem does not fix it. The education problem needs more parent involvement, disapline and support for the teachers. The teachers need to be compensated based on standarized testing and hold them accountable where they lose their job if test scores continue to fall short. No exception.

We look at other countries in Asia, India, etc and say boy those people are smart ... it is not that ... visit some of those counties and visit a school and see the disapline in the classroom, all students dressed the same and ready to learn.

The problem in the US is that parents sue schools if their precious baby is disaplined or told they can not wear some of the garbage they come to school in.

I sent my son to a private school, he wore a uniform, including a tie everyday ... and I (and he) is proud of the outcome.
