1.The school model of: dropping off children, assembling them into classrooms, and using lectures, tests, periods, papers, and grades, is fundamentally flawed, and will never work better than it does today. We have reached the relative apex of that model.
2.We need to collectively do everything we can to un-standardize schools, break bottlenecks (such as college admissions processes), and reverse the lockstepping of age-based participation. The next stage of education evolution requires us to think about true diversity of educational experiences, not convergence. Having said that, I personally do not believe we as a nation have the imagination to currently visualize what a truly heterogeneous educational ecosystem might possibly look like (but again, Unschooling Rules is a place to start).
3.Given one and two, the best thing we can do as a nation is to realize that more and more people will home- and un-school, and that is a good thing for everyone. Like some science fiction story playing out, the homeschooling movements in all of its forms will incubate the creativity of thinking and approaches necessary, eventually, to save all of schools. –Clark Aldricth

Homeschoolers are very patriotic people, not only do they pay in taxes for other people’s children to go to public school, but homeschoolers SAVE tax payers big money because those are kids other tax payers don’t have to pay for to be educated. And homeschoolers test higher by far than public school kids. A win win situation.
