> De-centralize and de-nationalize schooling. It's clear the feds have no idea how to make the education system work. Let the states have ~50 different curricula, or individual schools to have ~hundreds or ~thousands of different curricula. Even if they're bad on average, some of them will probably figure out how to make an actually good US school by sheer luck. Once we have that, the others have a model to copy.

Sadly, we already know what works, individualized/custom attention that exposes the kid to a lot of fields. A worse way to put it, more money == better education. And this is largely true even if specifically wrong.

But once you try to scale that up, everything falls apart.
