So here we are, in a country full of poor performing students and teachers, in a poor economy. The future of this country just seems depressingly hopeless.
How come there are so few male teachers? Look at that picture: 100% ladies.
Look at a classroom of math, computer science, electricial engineering or the geekiest subject you can think of, you are likely to find a few female students. How come so few men go to education? Yes, it doesn't pay so well, and gosh and lot of paperwork. Unfortunately I am not capable enough to be one (not enough tough-kid-dealing-with-skills is one reason), but there are got to be more capable men out there.
Parents must instill the idea to the kids that one needs an education. Teach your kids what you know is just a start... they will probably need more than what you know to survive in the future world. Don't just rely on the poor performing teachers!
To deal with poor performing teacher-to-be students... come on, let's raise the bar. Simply don't let them graduate if they don't pass.

One solution, send school bureaucrats overseas to a sucessful school system. Make them live there for a year or two to learn.
High, very high property taxes going to school for fancy microscopes and computers is NOT the answer.
Bring up male teachers so kids have a good role model is a must.
