Tell the chat group if parents would act as parents it would help the system,
Every one of them would agree with you on this point.

What specific problem(s) are you wanting to fix...what is/are the objective(s)? Improve discipline Improve actual substantive/academic education - the high school diploma that my dad has represents a typical liberal arts Bachelor degree nowadays. Reduce the influence that the mass/mob psychology has on kids. Yes, the interwebs now have this effect too, but small groups/small units are better than large groups. Reduce the likelihood of events such as school shootings or catastrophes (fire, gas line explosion) harming a large number of kids Thank you for taking the time to answer Uncle Zeek. Knowing specific problems being solved for helps me think through solutions being proposed. Much appreciated.

Doubtful. But, to an extent, we do it on our campus. All students go to their normal classes then we have a full class period where student go to different levels of intervention based on their levels. It works, we were named a Blue Ribbon School nominee for closing gaps.
Congratulations. Our district had the novel idea of getting every student to take AP courses. Completely watered down the curriculum so much that the students who should be in AP did not get the advanced level of instruction needed, Keep it up. I would like to see it more in the 4 core areas where students are split into two levels dependent on their scores and class grades. I feel this would identify learning problems quicker and close the gaps without holding the average/above average students back. Thank you

1. Get rid of the unions in education. Teachers answer to parents.
2. Get rid of school districts. Parents have a choice as to where their kids go to school.
3. School fundings follow the kids.
