Works on tumors, doesn't it?

There is no quick fix solution to make the schools better.

There are a few things I would do given the chance:

1) End social promotion. You can't read, you are unable to handle work beyond 2nd grade.

2)Renegociate with the teacher's union. I can't stand the bitch running the NYC UFT. She screams tenure every chance she gets. You can under pay the people she represents, but don't touch tenure. You can flood their ranks with under qualified, but don't touch tenure. You can place teachers in fucking warzones so they fear for their lives every day, but don't touch tenure. Anybody guessing where I'm going here? If I give the them those three and she refuses them to save tenure, she destroys the UFT.

3) Uniforms. Don't give me that express indivuality crap. They all dress the same anyway.

4)Find a way to make parents acountable. Too many parents see school as a place to drop off their little brats for a few hours and then think the learning ends at 3 o'clock.
