The teachers as a group research and plan curriculum. They coordinate across grade levels and determine how to roll out changes in the most effective way possible for students and parents as well. They rolled out common core math over 5 years with great success well before it was forced on public schools.

In other words, they let the people who have studied to be professional educators make decisions about the best way to…educate. There’s no school board, no state level involvement, no federal disruption every time there’s an election.

And it’s fantastic. I see this work and my first instinct is that EVERYONE should have an option like this, not just the people who can afford it.

For that reason, I support some type of voucher program that could achieve these goals. Yet for some reason in the US this is a political hot button, which doesn’t make any sense to me. Currently, the only people who have all the options are people who can afford them out of pocket. Everybody else is stuck with either public school or home school and home school is on the rise.

I teach at a community college and for years I've told newcomers to profession that one thing this job is not about is teaching.

A kind of "choice-based" market system within a school.

I sincerely doubt that. Having a teacher who isn't struggling financially would be a huge improvement.
