The concept is simple yet difficult for liberals to get their arms around. Turn the public education system into private schools.
Here is the concept:
1) schools would get $7,600 per year per student, but each school would be limited to a certain number of students (in the 600 range) but can not refuse to take a student under an situtation provided they have room.
2) Do away with the K-12 grading system in total.
3) Test all students at the beginning of each year and at the end of each year to bench mark the progress of the students. Those that learn 1 years of information get a 1. Those that learn 85% of years information get a .85 those that learn 25% more than a years get 1.25%.
4) The average scores for each age is provided to the parents or perspective parents of the school.
------------------
by doing this the schools would become competitive and increase the level of education.
The cost of operation would decrease because it would eliminate the excessive administration.
This would increase teachers pay because of the school will need to attract better teachers to stay competitive.
Way more pros than cons.
Understand that this is a brief outline and not a detailed plan>
