re: "Conservatives" agree to new entitlement program costing hundreds of millions per year

Some, yes. Like they once did. Suspend/expel unruly kids, and by 10th grade put many in vocational training instead of high school.

They do that now.

But they could expel or non-renew kids without a competitive IQ.

That would help the average scores compete with private schools who use aptitude tests pre-enrollment.

The goal is competitive public schools. We need to be creative and do something that they currently don't do.

Public schools are little more than job creators in many places, with "butts in seat" far more important than a competent classroom.

Butts in seats is the ideology of the student that would rather daydream.

We need to find a better way to weed those kids out. Otherwise the test scores will not compete with private schools whose families have vested $10000s per year with an extra incentive to make sure the students aren't daydreaming.

Or... removing the financial expense from private schools would permit the laissez Faire parents to send their kids to private schools.
And make those schools less competitive thus improving the look of public schools.

We can figure this out.
