i don't know if my suggestions will reform the system, but i think that they will definitely improve the educational system as it now stands. first of all, most parents are not as involved in their children's education as they should be. with more parental involvement, attendance, participation, and grades can't help but be improved. next of all, there needs to be more discipline in the public school system. the kids today are able to get away with behavior that i wasn't able to get away with when i was in school. in a sense, students should have some fear of their teachers and the consequences of their actions. last of all, teachers should be rewarded by their student's excellence, and should be paid more that teachers who are less successful in educating their students.
