They could expand the classroom time to 5 o'clock or 6
European education way ahead scholastically but lags behind in no brainier sports

There are too many ineffectual teachers in the system, some of which aren't any more literate than the knuckleheads they're trying to teach. There are too many teachers who should be fired for poor results, yet are protected by their union. There is too much money thrown at education without identifying the problems that desperately need addressing. Good and conscientious teachers should not have to buy basic supplies out of their own pockets.

And, whoever came up with the idea that kindergarten and early grades school children should have "drag queen reading hours" needs to beaten with a bat, tarred and feathered and run out of town on a rail.

There's also no need to teach there are any more than two genders, or that how to use a condom needs to be illustrated using a banana. The boys who can't figure it out are the same ones who put on their jock straps outside their football pants.

There's also too much fraud involved; for example, Obama gave Pearson Publishing $350 million to create Common Core textbooks and Pearson gave Obama a $65 million dollar book deal in return. That's at the very top; the fish rots from the head down.

And, as eddessaknight said, we spend far too much money on and give way too much attention to H.S. athletics. I believe it's an important part of primary education, but there's no need to spend millions and millions on h.s. football stadiums. (as we've done here in Texas, but it's also being done in other states)

As important as elections for the President and Congress are, sometimes I think the most important one might be that for your local school board. They're the ones who allow for fifty million dollar football stadiums, drag queens in reading hours and condoms on bananas....and who waste the taxpayer dollars on what is a poor excuse for education.
