[quote=Anonymous]1. Meet the needs of all children...even if it means coding more kids and providing additional services to address their learning issues.

2. Address the issues related to socieconomics by embedding a social worker in title I and low performing schools...and making sure the social worker has access to appropriate resources.

3. Run the schools like the best private schools. All schools...not just the lower performing ones. Google Cristo Rey. It's a model that is working in inner cities across the country (Los Angeles is saving the poorest boys from gang central and getting them on grade level and then working with them to make sure all graduates go on to succeed in college. How do they do this? It's the standard private school model of setting the bar high, having high expectations, instilling respect and a work ethic, AND wrapping services around the students and families to help them achieve.) Honestly, smaller class sizes and a return to the traditional way of teaching all subjects (including text books and all subjects, not merely two big blocks of reading and math with social studies and science *Sometimes* added in in a small way) would benefit the majority of the kids.

4. This will get me flamed: get rid of the administrators and principals who we all know super suck. You know, the ones who are either well past their prime or who never should have been promoted in the first place (and can't be fired). If you are at a school with a super crummy principal, you know what I mean. [/quote]
