This study was a major four-year effort, and more like it are needed to finally convince our nation's leaders to change their priorities. We need books, not bombs. Kids can't read, teachers can't teach (apparently), and the needs of the students are rarely met.
A wholly different problem, but perhaps one that is interwoven with the teacher shortage, is the increasing level of violence in schools. Children are going insane at a markedly accelarated rate, just like their parents. We need to identify the cause of the contagious madness that seems to be sweeping the country. It's affecting more than just our heads, it's actually destroying our future.

The trend seems to be leading towards 'vocational training' and starting the indenturing process early.

All true, but I fear that studies like this will be hijacked to justify dismantling the public education system. The trend seems to be leading towards 'vocational training' and starting the indenturing process early.

The "public" education system needs to be dismantled. It has become little more that a social engineering "experiment" for the insanity of liberalism left over from the drug induced haze of the 60's.
All school taxes should be stopped. The property sold to private interest and a new system of "private" schools be started.
All education should be funded locally and not state mandated.

That's a red herring if I ever saw one. The current crisis has more to do with lack of funds which were in turn due to politicians with your exact thinking. Have you ever heard of a thing called property taxes? Yeah, they're levied by state and local governments, not federal. Guess what they fund? Public education. The majority of the funds in public educations are from state and local governments, not federal. I'm sure you can figure out from this that state and local governments have vastly more control over public education than most people realize.
