My solution would be to revise the system. What's throwing more money at it going to do? It's a failing, antiquated system. Pumping more money into it blindly would be a waste. I forget the numbers so I won't even quote them but there was a study done about the public school system in NYC and it was compared to a church run school that serviced 1/3 of the children. The NYC administration staff was in the thousands, I want to say 3 thousand (again, from recollection). The church run system was 11. 11 people and they had much higher test scores than the NYC. I tried quickly to find the study again. I'll see if I can find it later. But yes, I believe our education system is not dire from a lack of funding, it's dire from a clusterfuck system.
