Agree whole heartedly something must be done. The current system of delivery is failing as shown by the gradual rise in home schooling. A big step putting their childrens future first. This small effort has opened the door to challenge the stagnant delivery system of today. It is now clear to those who seek to turn our declining system around that changes are required, like...States and local school boards control education delivery. Federal Government has no direct say in delivery. Voucher system - market place competition makes for improved results. Parents can choose schools with best outcomes where teachers/educators are paid a fair and respectful salary. Children no longer have to go to a school with poor outcomes, where curriculum is "soft" and expectations of students and teachers are marginal.  Changes of this type have been recommended for years but get no traction. Who and what is keeping change from gaining any real momentum. Is the New World Order theory for real?
