What to do?
I would hire a group of sociologists, psychologists, statisticians, to study the problem and determine what the causes of the failure of public schools actually are, without the popular assumptions like blaming the teacher's unions, etc.
Questions like: Why do the worst of the students always change when subject to the rigorous discipline of a boot camp environment?, should be explored. What are the definitive factors present that determine a bad school as opposed to a good school?
After the real reasons for poor schools or student behavior have been identified, make recommendations that could possibly work.
Most opinions of persons not in the school environment are commonly misconceptions built upon misinformation.
