Concepts for Education?

<Inst#cspell>

What do you think about these concepts?

1. Abolish mandatory schooling. Kids who don't care should not waste taxpayer dollars.
2. Cut the number of teachers in half, but double their paycheck. This would drastically increase the quality of teachers, but drastically increase the size of classrooms. One of the reasons all your teachers are so stupid, is because they went to graduate school only to get a 30-50k paycheck.

How about the ability to analyze, categorize, and question information?  Take any subject where the student goes "Oh, I get it" and find out what caused that as opposed to a crappy teacher where the student barely gets a good picture.
