What you mean is that we need fewer liberal teachers and more conservative teachers. But most conservatives flatly refuse to become teachers. So until conservatives get off their butts and stop catcalling from the sidelines and talking about what a great job they'd do if it weren't beneath them, nothing is going to change.
Conservatives are smart enough to know that the system is “gamed”. Look at the distribution of liberal to conservative teachers (I’ve seen the ratio placed as high as 12-1). Who picks what teachers will be hired to fill openings?
The system is too broken to be fixed. The only workable solution is to give fed, state and local funding directly to the parents of students at all levels and to let them pick and pay for school that they want their child to attend (including home schooling).
True competition will drive reform and improvement.

PTBAA is correct. The K-12 system is corrupt and it HURTS children spiritually, emotionally, and sometimes physically. Public K-12 schooling was the nation’s first socialist entitlement. They can NOT be reformed.
Could a gulag be reformed by having conservative guards?
