Re: Obama to nation: Give me your children.
Well the best thing to do is to allow the parents to actually decide where the kids go to school. I like the way France does it, the parents have to select the school and register the kids and the school gets X amount of money and only X amount of money for that student. Nothing else is provided outside of basic operating funding to keep the buildings in shape and staffed with maintenance people.
The money follows the kids, not the kids follow the money. When you think about it, there has to something said about the real failure of our country.
They also have a teachers union, they also have a lot of regulations but they also teach their kids.
Look at the DC school district and then the Detroit school district, both run by the union and both poorly equipped to have students who can add or subtract. It is not all the teachers mind you, the parents are too lazy to fight for their kids education and accept low standards but focus on race and stuff that doesn't matter in the real world.
