What happened to universal private schools? How about an expansion of the system where parents get together, build a school and hire a teacher?
Certainly some equivalent of that would work better than what we have now.
I can tell you that Alaska’s program for non-ed majors teaching (Senate Bill 89) is being undercut by the unions and the University of Alaska system. They took over the Rural Educators Partnership Program, then stopped advertising it, then let it expire.
Idaho has a program for non-ED majors, and so does Florida. Maybe you should look into these programs, you will find great successes, and also see the pettiness of the establishment towards these programs. One good thing about the AK program, it brought in more males than females into a female dominated discipline. Disadvantaged kids need male role models badly, and the feminine and feminized school environment needs men too.
