The best way to fix the educational system in the US is to shut it down. Then let parents band together in their communities to create their own local schools free of the bureaucracy and government intervention that has destroyed the current system. This would allow funding to go directly where it is needed most, THE TEACHERS AND THE STUDENTS! This funding would not use taxation to support the local schools, as this is the reason why parents lost control in the first place. The government will never "give" you anything without strings attached.
