Possibly, but I am hoping that more creative ways to accomplish it can be found. Personally, I really don't know what that would/could entail.

I'm bummed the nevada model is stuck in court, simply because it would provide us with actual results to use to make further decisions.

Not a liberal but I think putting more responsibility on the students. It's ultimately up to them to decide if the want to work now and have a good living or if the want to.just get by in school and struggle the rest of their life. You can't make someone want to work.

We all know why there is such an outcry to stop Devos....teachers unions. How many jobs can you retire at 55 and have an awesome pension? She's going to be pushed through and the days of early retirement and unions controlling the schools are going to end. This is similar to the once great military retirement pension.

I think school choice and vouchers will be a great thing, it will require schools to fight for enrollment to secure more money. It may even help certain schools focus more on specific studies. (analytical, literature/art, history, etc)

Most people fighting against Devos are just fish swimming with the school.

Trade school option after 7th grade.

Not a liberal but I think the teachers union needs to dismantled, we need to get rid of tenure, and we need a renewed focus on trades for kids who aren't college bound

Trade school track available.

Strict discipline standards, with a required military style reform school for serial violaters.
