Re: Hypothetical Situation: Director of Education
Overhaul the system to make it look something like France's and Japan's educational systems. Raise the age where it becomes legal to drop out(18, possibly 19). Place stricter penalties on dropping out before then. Accelerate our math standards. Have kids start to learn a foreign language at about 6th grade. Issue something like the BAC test(have a science/engineering/math, litracy and history tracks).
