I'd have metal detectors on every school and would not allow weapons or drugs into schools.

Thus most public schools.

I would remove troublemakers and put them in special schools.


Yes, I remember your prescription regarding "special schools" for special needs kids.

And then I wouldn't promote a single kid who couldn't master the basics.

Isn't that the core of the current problem? How would you solve the problem of kids who can't master those basics by a certain age? More "special schools"?

I would also make school year round.

Agreed.

What do I expect? I expect us to have kids graduate who can read, write, spell, do math, learn science and be constructive members of society.

So does every teacher in the country.
