If you want to fix the major crux of the problem its pretty simple but too many cheap selfish bastards are against paying more into their public education systems.

I would argue it is the low starting pay... Those that sick it out are quite well paid, have excellent benifits and retire at half pay. Not bad compared to the white collar world around them.
The old timers control the unions and bleed the systems dry!
It is not only a money problem - I lived in Japan that is supposed to have such good schools - they had rickety wood framed buildings and coal stoves in the classroom.
