Aside from obvious funding and financial resuscitation, I think another way that this can be done is to make sweeping changes to the testing done in today's schools. We need to teach our children to think, not just regurgitate what they've memorized. A novel idea can't be expressed in a multiple choice test. And to go beyond that, novel ideas shouldn't be squashed with lower grades because the child doesn't present what the teacher expects. Every "failure" should be seen as a building block to the next success. Our country needs innovation.
