To do that on a national level is impossible. You have to do it locally. Who is your superintendent? Who serves on the board? Who is in the PTA? How much does the state budget for the schools?Only 20% of the people (at the most) in those districts can answer all of those questions. Yet you make it a national issue...It is not. It is a local Problem...Cities make more revenue that townships, yet repeatedly townships out rank city public education....has nothing to do with the national outlook and everything to do with how the LOCAL money is spent and the local population view education.
For years/decades this country survived education being done by most teachers never having a college education. Only the past 20 years has this come more so to the forefront. But Geez, is it that hard to explain Algebra? If you know spanish, can you not teach it to someone? Sorry, but public education is just a set up for college to give you the basics in daily life and a bit extra. The problem with urban schools is not the schools but the children with in them. Some can't read. Are you trying to tell me it is because their teacher does not have a master's in English? Give me a break. Basic skills tests are not rocket science....some can't add? That is because the teacher teaching math does not have a master's degree. No, the problem is the parents and the children...
