Easier said than done. Most elections for the past 20 years have revolves around the schools and they’ve only gotten worse. I honestly see no way to solve the public schools other than having all the students leave and forcing them to reconsider everything they do

You fire all the admin and start from scratch with the teachers and kids.

Teachers want to teach and do a good jobs generally but are prevented from doing so by admin/policies that set them up to fail

I would be in favor of this but I think the politics is too complicated for it to actually happen. Charters have already shown practical success

charters in many cases have also been absolute disasters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_htSPGAY7I
