Seven Policy Proposals For Educational Equity #education policy

The Center for American Progress, the progressive education think tank, has proposed enacting these seven progressive policy ideas for educational equity.
  1. Provide a tutor for every child performing below grade level.
  2. Offer free breakfast and lunch for all students, regardless of income.
  3. Ensure opportunities to combine college preparatory academics with technical training and workplace experience.
  4. Transition to a 9-to-5 school day to better fit parents' needs.
  5. Support, train, and pay teachers like professionals.
  6. Create a safe and healthy environment in every school.
  7. Eliminate crumbling school buildings.
These proposals would be expensive, but would they fix the problems in American education? i really like #1- the tutor when below grade level...

Here is a summary of the plan by the Council for Exceptional Children. Here is the full article by the Center for American Progress explaining the proposal.

What policy proposals would you suggest to improve education? What do you think?
