I agree with your assessment regarding government schooling. It’s a mess.

I, too, want a solution. Socialist-based government schooling cannot be reformed. It must be abolished and replaced with a free-market system.

We know what the problems are and what the solutions should be.
But there are not enough of us to win the local elections required to change the school boards nor the state educations departments.
Administrators, teachers...yes I do blame many of them, and parents are becoming equally ignorant and as time goes on there are simply more and more ignorant people voting.
It ain’t a good formula for change.
It is going to take a massive and gut wrenching campaign to turn things around that isn’t going to happen, at least not peacefully.
And no one wants to contemplate those ramifications. So we as a country sink into the stupid.
Damn shame.

We took God out of schools and put fools in.
What could possibly go wrong.

“Public” schools are run by the government. Any other explanation for their failure is either just the details, or wrong.
