Obviously, I am a big fan of public schools, but the way the government forces teachers to focus on standardized testing doesn't make it easy for them to differentiate instruction for students that learn differently than other ones.

Yeah forcing everyone into a box is not really in the kids best interest. Sadly there's so many issues in the world and the education system is such a big one that it's hard to get it straightened out. Anything the government does ends up being corrupted which is really difficult to experience. We could apply some of the other school methods from a government standpoint but then it would likely end up where it's at now.
How do we fix it? That's the hardest question of all!
I think we need to stop standardized tests for one. They had their day, but kids learn differently now and the topics aren't quite as relevant. There are some things that you definitely need to know, but throwing such a broad net is always going to be problematic.
