How to FIX Education

So, in the world of education, many people know and understand how to "fix" the problem.  We know what to do.  Ask any educator who has 15 plus years of experience in the classroom.

The overwhelming answer is LOWER student teacher ratios.

That means more teachers in schools.

It is not a program, it is not a "magic bullet."

It is not a grant.

It is not a innovation.

It is not something you can buy.

It is the solution and it can happen, if we want it to happen.

Lower student teacher ratios will raise test scores.  It really doesn't matter what test you use.  Use the ACT or the SAT.  If you lower student teacher ratios, you will increase scores. PERIOD.
