- How to improve the Schools & the School System

Students should be able to walk to school, or attend school close to home. Reading & writing skills need to be improved. School food should be more nutritious. More advanced math classes should be available. Learning should be exciting and fun. English and foreign languages can be easily learned via the reading method, not via boring grammer drills. School safety should be a priority too.
