You people who argue for a 9/12 month school year, new Board members, an interim Superintendent, a teacher/student Bill of Rights, higher/lower academic standards, etc just don't get it. Public education is a CATASTROPHE and *cannot* be reformed.
The private sector is perfectly capable of providing enough classrooms, bandwidth, mobile tutors, etc to satisfy the real demand for primary/secondary/higher education. For all tastes, pricepoints, and degrees of quality.
What's this blather about 9 months vs year-round (5 tracks)? School "years" should be variable and tracks multitudinous. Like the students the schools are supposed to serve.
1 day/wk schools. 1 hr/night schools. $10,000/yr schools. $10/wk schools. Sports schools. Drama schools. Science schools. How about a school which guarantees your child admission to an IVY or your money back! And on and on.
This is all so obvious. The only reason we haven't moved to this paradyne *decades* ago is because the Republicrats have HUGE financial stakes in continuing the status quo.
No more "one size fits all" operating hours and curriculum. No more consultants, union contracts, and vapid pedagogies.
No more political teacher performance evaluations. Everyone will know who are the good teachers are. They'll be the ones with wait lists.
No more political school performance evalutions. Everyone will know which schools are good. They'll be the ones which are expanding.
No more bond measures, court test cases and rigged, riotous (draft) board meetings.
