Great points, all. Yes, we need to empower parents with school money to select better, private or charter schools. Then, we have to kill the idea that success means "acting white." It's so sad. The guilt trip minorities are under to underperform. I'd kill the govt unions too. Even FDR thought they were a bad idea.
With the current state of unaccountability in government unions, slothful progress of government agencies, and a culture that undermines individual achievement, I think the development of reason-based private educational systems is the best we can hope for. Our public schools, over multiple generations now, have continued to keep students in low- to medium-income neighborhoods, unable to be sufficiently motivated to excel and pull themselves out of poverty. It can only start with the individuals that learn about and see examples of success and can be motivated by great teachers that are not beholden to corrupt government practices.
