I've been thinking more about decentralization.

I think the best way to go would be to decentralize to the high school level.

Definitely agree that the current one is broken. And there probably aren't any easy fixes.

What he meant was that when you bus kids, bus the poor kids to the richer schools, but, don't bus the rich kids to the poor schools. When you do that it makes everybody weaker which doesn't make anyone stronger.

However, the large umbrella organization is not working as is. In breaking down the system into districts of roughly 25,000 students each, it would be hard to justify many of the positions that currently exist in the overall district.

History suggests that some of the current problems in public education escalated when the number of school districts expanded across the country.

If we combined this issue with the emerging idea of marketing Memphis to the middle class, then there may be a golden opportunity here.

A reporter in Memphis has asked the questions that people have been wanting answers to for a very long time now! Way to go John!
