Public education in many areas of this country is pretty abysmal, and the No Child Left Behind Act has -- uh -- not been quite as effective as maybe it was intended to be. There's obviously a problem, and I have another Modest Proposal to fix it.
I believe that our public education system would be fixed rapidly, if every elected official, at every level of government, were required to send their own children to the local public school. And I think I'd exclude magnet schools, too.
What do you all think? Would that be incentive enough for them to get the system working?
While we're at it, maybe they should be required to use the county health systems, too...
