our Constitution guarantees public education, free of charge.

WHAT?

our public schools are underfunded and ....teachers ..woefully underpaid

I believe per capita funding, inflation adjusted, has gone up by a factor of five since the "halycon" days of public education in the '50's. Teachers are still the sort who could only get in to teaching colleges. Bureaucratic control insures the bums don't get culled and the heroes don't get properly rewarded, let alone emulated.

our public education system will remain mediocre.

Positively! The incentives guarantee it.

Test question: It's been 25 years since an American Hero quit the Chicago public schools and started a storefront operation in the Chicago ghetto -- technos.net. Why are the NEA sort still trying to wheedle more dough for a failed system instead of learning how to deliver more for less?
