What are the biggest issues with today’s education system?
Your turn to weigh in.

The biggest problem is that the government controls what is taught, how it's taught, and what isn't allowed to be taught. IMHO in a society that's achieved near-universal literacy, gov't has no legitimate role in education.

As many, and varied, problems as I have with our public education system, I have even less faith in the average person's desire or ability to educate their own kids. Plus, it would take an all but impossible cultural shift for most people to even have time to attempt it.

Government does have a legitimate role of ensuring that everyone who wants an education gets a fair one (Brown v BoEd, Bakke v Regents of UoC), especially where institutions have demonstrated a pattern of discrimination. Gov't (like it or not) does have legit interest here.pic.twitter.com/1AodQsqOj7

I lean toward thinking that government should fund education, but not run education. Allow different types of schools to emerge and let unsuccessful models fail due to low attendance and successful schools thrive from high attendance.

It should fund k-12 but nothing else.

Class sizes are too big for the students to receive the individual attention they need.
