Public education needs more money. Teachers need to be better trained and paid more. Poor kids deserve a decent education too.

Tenure for teachers needs to be disolved, and they need to be held accountable for what the students learn.
Public shools where I live are fine, most have a more than 98% graduation rate, and over 90% go on to higher education.
I wonder if the shitty average of inner city public shools might have something to do with a larger percentage of people that have not held a job for more than 2 weeks in their life, the largest number of broken homes where the father (usually) has no part of the childs life because he has better things to do, like heroin.
Can we please stop blaming government for the percentage of people that simply have no drive or desire to better themselves.
