Key moves that would boost education reform efforts

To significantly reform education, yet not cost the state anything extra, let's do the following:

Post average, school-wide scores for ONET and other nationwide tests on the Web, so parents can find where they’d get the best value for their money;
Make administrator and teacher evaluation and promotions 100 per cent dependent on key performance indicators that are job-related, transparent and measurable, including the test scores of their students;
Float school fees to whatever the market will bear – while providing enough financial aid for half of each entering class.
