I say go to the voucher system. This way everyone has a chance to go to private school if they wish to. If local public schools can't compete and end up with no students, then that's just the free market in action, and private schools should be the norm instead. We spend a crapload of money per student in the public school system in the US, and meanwhile, it's so totally controlled by unions, that we end up with horrible public schools. Let the private sector take over, I say.

+1 for vouchers

California's teacher's unions have gotten way out of control. Education is the biggest portion of California's budget and we don't do it right. The more money we throw at it the worse it does year after year.
