Educator's solutions have focused on spending even more money, but despite this having been done, American children continue to fall further and further behind.

Worse yet, studies show that home schooled students, guided by Internet base programs, perform better than students who've actually attended public schools. Educators respond that, home schooled children miss out on the 'rich' social environment public schools provide, but there's no evidence supporting this. The opposite appears to be true, as  is today's children have no trouble socializing or interacting whether it's in person, on the net, through social media or at events.

Has Public Education become little more than an expensive, but inefficient Baby Sitting Service, Day Care Center, Sports venue for bored parents and a place where government types hang out until it's time for gravy train pensions and benefit packages?

It's time to put Kids first instead of last in line.
