My solution, well part of my solution anyway, is consult with the experts on what an optimum standard school would be. A school design using modern technology and theory that has the ability to furnish We the People’s children and future generations with an education that actually prepares them for life.

Large corporations could offer specific products that the proceeds are matched by the company and go to the school or system. Example, Sketchers all profit from shoes purchased through the schools website get matched and given to the school.
