My personal two cents is that there is too much non-educational garbage being included in schools. In some Seattle schools students can study cosmetology or auto repair, getting just the rudiments of reading, writing and 'rithmatic. I particularly have a beef against school athletics. Intrascholastic athletics better belong in a club setting, as they are in a great part of the world.
Separate athletics from school, emphasize the basics and incorporate a civics course that students are required to pass - that is my solution for public education.
