We need a voucher system that allows the parents to choose what school they want to send their child and tax money to. Allow competition. Anything else is just attempting to make a monopoly work. Hooray for teachers union. Nothing like unionizing against the education of our children.

We need to stop giving tenure so easily to K-12 teachers. Teachers need to be able to fail kids, use red ink when correcting tests, standards need to stop being lowered just so a few more students can graduate and teachers' unions need to be crushed.
