The other thing is add is the only way to impact the school system is to create an alternative (private or charter) or get your own people on the school board. Or if you’re really rich, hire a lawyer, but that’s kind of an %sshole move because then the school district has to either cave to everyone hiring a lawyer, or fire the music teacher to pay for legal defense.

School choice would do a lot of get schools to compete and be the best possible.

Charter schools is something we use now. Hardly perfect but it’s a lot nicer.

Charter schools leave a lot of kids behind, especially if they have special needs.

Depends on the charter school. In New York the Special Ed kids at Success Academy outperform Gen Ed kids citywide.
