Increase funding by a fairly absurd amount.
Back to basics. Computers should be in computer classes and that's it.
Teach grammar.
Teach ancient history, students should know far more about the history of the world than they do.
Raise the standards.
Stop college from being high school part II. Make it about *education*, and NOT the piece of paper.
Eliminate standardized tests.
Make tech prep/vocational programs not only for the loser kids, double or triple the number of available programs.
All state colleges free if you get a 3.0 on a 4.0 scale, so long as you maintain a 3.0 in college.
Mandatory 1 year study abroad in college.
I could go on for ages. We don't only need reform, we need much much higher standards.
