We could completely remove the public education system as a tool of socialization. Students who are able to study and achieve beyond the rest should be able to meet their requirements outside of the classroom.
It's not just the primary grades that has this potential. College education also has the potential to exist outside the lecture halls and the administration by PhDs.

Going beyond a basic education can not happen if the "basics" are not taught. That is what we are dealing with today. It is not just that the socialists have taken over our educational system, it is that our young are not even learning the basics of reading, writing or even simple math. That is the truth and how bad things have become. And I'm not just suggesting a simple hand full, it's a huge percentages that are coming out of our high schools with out even the bare bones basics. This is what should be taught in our primary schools, but it's not. Teachers are getting credential on "how to teach" not "what to teach". This is what the public isn't understanding, that it's what these kinds aren't being taught, but we have teachers who brag about their teaching "skills". Homeschoolers are doing better than public school students, yet their teachers aren't bragging about their "teaching skills" because those homeschoolers are more concerned about what is being taught.
