There is no practical solution to this problem. Parents, as a whole, are not going to change, they are going to be busier. Teachers, as a whole, are not going to change, their raises are set by contract, their retirement plan is in place, their unions are enormously strong, entrenched solidly with the democrat party and a critical support bloc. Kids are not going to change except to become more artifically stimulated by TV, by more and more risque programming at a progressively early age. Taxpayers will continue to complain about how high their taxes are, every year, and what do we get from it, and they will continue to pay them every year. Take care of your kids, make more money 'cause you're gonna need it, and get ready to participate in the long, slow decline in education in America. Depressing.
