The best solution is to get the government completely out of the equation and let schools compete. Bust the teachers' union and make education completely free-market. Cut taxes so people can afford to send their kids to the best schools possible.

The unions regard the schools as huge indoctrination centers for the values they hold dear. They oppose vouchers for two reasons: one, they think that no amount of money for the public schools is sufficient; second, they don't want others with "wrong" values to have any influence over the education of students. This includes parents who reject those values. What are these values? The values of the constituent parts of the Democratic Party.
