The problems with education are parents who have higher priorities--in some 
cases, survival, but in many cases just living higher on the hog. Only 
parents can change education in a satisfactory way. They don't have to stay 
home and homeschool, but they do have to make their children the priority 
by being heavily and constantly involved in whatever form of education they 
choose for their children. Visit classes, talk to teachers, call and write 
to administrators and express your desires. Help with homework. Don't have 
children unless they will be your top priority.
