Like a lot of things in our government, it needs to be scrapped and rebuild. Properly.

What we really need, in my opinion, is to hold teachers and parents more responsible for their students' education...you have too many teachers simply passing students because they don't want to put the students through the social stigma of having to repeat a class or grade level (My brother had to repeat the 7th grade and he was much better off for it)...Many parents these days are simply apathetic and expect the schools to do all the work...I don't think the solution is raising teachers' salaries...I think the solution is sanctioning nonperforming teachers, punishing the students as they ought to be and demanding parental involvement...
I would agree that, like most of our bloated under effective government, it needs to be rebuilt. But the poll options are a bit misleading.

The Department of Education does a swell job with only 5,000 employees. Just imagine what good of a job it could do with 5,000,000 employees! The No Child Left Behind Act has made our public school system very creative when it comes to fudging the data as required. Finally some federally induced creativity in the school system!
