[quote=jstoesz]I think the solution is a step or two back…
The problem most people see is a lack of accountability with Teachers. We could extend this problem to say their is a lack of accountability with schools (districts, administrators, teachers, etc.)
The solution to this problem is school choice. If parents can choose where their kids go to school, their is no need to for all of these fancy statistical metrics. Some would be helpful in supplying families accurate knowledge of their schools, but not to the same level we have today.
If we open up school districts monopoly on kids, where they go to school, how they are taught, when they are taught etc. All of these problems will be self regulating.
Sure some parents wont give a crap where their kids go to school, but the schools they attend will naturally be bettered by all the new accountability infused into the education system.[/quote]
That’s easy – just move to the area served by the desired school or send your kid to a private school.
Accept that you are not paying for your kids’ education through your taxes. You are funding the public education system and since you have children you have the option of consuming the service. If you had no children you’d still have to pay the same taxes.
