What is the model, in what country that we can present to the government and demand change, I just don't have these answers. Here in Arizona we can pick the elementary school we want to have the kids attend, however, I am in process looking for a "continuation" school they can attend, but have yet to find one that teaches a kid how to reason.
I guess it will be up to me and their mother to try to get them down that path. We fled Ca. because of the class sizes and we couldn't afford private, not that would work anyway due to NCLB...

In the words of another conderned for our kids...
"I'll say this, for a country that used to be about agriculture and production, the school system did it's job. IE, people were ready to work when they left school. I feel like I can't blame the school system today for kids lack of motivation. I think much of that starts at home. I believe we do need to improve our schools. But if we really want to improve our children's lives, we need to change the way we relate to children. To some degree, growing up in the the 70's, I remember the t shirts that said "ME" on them. That self centeredness in adults has only gotten worse and it's pretty evident not only in culture, but in school. I think we need to change how we relate to each other before we expect improvement in our school system."
