Ok; try this; Education shouldnt be a political football;
( Agreed ) It should be about teaching ( a curriculum that successfully prepares each child to progress through basic skills to advanced skills at as fast a pace as each child can) I am not interested in dismantling the public schools etc.

Ok but will you allow solutions to reengineer them ?

The Public, i.e the taxpayers need to reassert it's ownership of the assets of the schools, then proceed through contract to transfer some Equity to Teachers themselves as corporations, over extended periods of time.
These would be bilateral contracts which flow from the publics ownership and equity in the physical property, and essentially leasing the class rooms to teacher specialists who must deliver the performance parents and teachers acknowledge, or lose their equity rights thereafter.

Neighborhoods (Taxpayers) own the schools, we've bought and paid for them, sometimes many times over, these physical assets can be taxpayer recalled and equitized, in such a way as to provide a whole new system that will only function locally at the neighborhood level yet performance goals will be fast tracking kids to fields of interest and capability which would include trade schools, technology schools etc.

fair enough starting point?
