Reforming Education: Chasing the Wrong Rabbit

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : To the one side, the teacher unions are their never-to-be-crossed partner, to the other side, the problem is worth far more than the solution.
54% : But what if the structure of funding were replaced (not reformed) so that tax money went from your pocket to your state government and then directly to parents in the form of vouchers parents would use to select and buy the kind and quality of education they know is best for their own children?
53% : In the current system, tax money goes from taxpayer pockets to state governments to the state's school districts.
50% : Tax money flows to school districts
43% : These included defunding police, shutting down competing charter schools, a 1% wealth tax, and a 3% income surtax on successful people, to name
35% : Why would we think the fifty-year on-again, off-again barren battle to reform public education is anything other than a fool's errand?
30% : Endlessly moiling to reform our broken and unyielding system of public education is chasing the wrong rabbit.
