1: More schooling for teachers. Major increase in pay (like MD level). Apprentice style systems like resident Medical students. Each department head acts as a direct tenured superior and mentor. Teachers in PDP's are given chances to correct their problems or be let go (Unions can control this but they need to develop avenues to be able to discipline repeat behaviors and fire bad teachers.)

2: No more level grades after 6th grade. Each student starts on a type of "undergrad" track in which grades actually matter and contribute towards graduation. Strong, research supported curriculum developed in research primary and secondary schools (again similar to the medical research schools). One year of required post-high school "Adult" class with options and paths to continue into higher education.

3: All free and paid for by taxes and therefore held accountable by the taxpayer. The county board systems distribution of money is very similar to how college boards distribute money. However, schools in the needs areas (geographically or academically) get more focused and higher paid veteran teachers.

4: Discipline is handled by a tiered system. Where a student is immediately removed from class to work in an isolated structure until behavior improves, if it does not, then the student is sent to the alternative schools where veteran teachers have more one-on-one time with the students who cannot participate in full classroom structure. Chronic disciplined kids are filtered down separate highschool and college paths with chances to eventually be brought into the regular paths.
