You have kids being born to parents. You have kids going to school. You have kids going back home. You might have parents saying one thing, and then teachers saying another, and don't even start with what the kids might want to say.
What we need to do is, first, take parents out of the equation. That way, the kid isn't screwed up right off the bat. So you either just get the sperm and egg from people with no parenting required(parenting can be paid for in taxes), or make reproduction outside of a lab impossible.
Next, since there are no parents(except those who have chosen parenthood service as a career), just adults being economically productive, you raise the kids in some sort of national institution where experts have studied what is required for the best development of children for future productivity. Home and school are then the same place, but, without the inefficiencies of diversity.
Now once the children are 18, what would you do about college? That's a bit tougher. Is college part of the institution, or is it outside of it? They'll have to figure that one out.
In this world, there are no real "parents", so nobody is able to blame the parents, because nobody actually has any children, even though children do exist. Nobody is able to blame teachers, since the only job of the adults is to be good at their job, and not worry about the children that they don't even know. Nobody can blame the children, since they all grow up in the exact same environment, and there is plenty of help for any student that needs it.
Think of all the other problems that could solve. The abortion/reproductive rights debate? Done. STD's? Gone. Private vs. public education? Not even an issue. Overpopulation? The system just doesn't make more people.
Although it would need to be a global thing, not just a national one. Again, diversity.
I'm kidding, but, if we really want to solve some problems...
