Here's one...

here's a website dedicated to this subject.

Private schools have some good ideas. That doesn't mean we should abandon public schools like voucher proponents would suggest we do.

I believing it's less expensive to fix the system... than it is to abandon it.

Compelling parents to participate can be as simple as threatening them with fines.

And this is a reasonable solution and there is already presidence to compelling parents in this manner.

For example recent child abandonment/endangerment laws, now require parents to pick up and drop off children under certain ages (I think it is around 8 years old) - rather then allow them to walk to and from school alone.
