The proper role of government is to protect its citizen's rights, not to educate them. In addition, it is not the responsibility of all citizens to pay for the education of other people's children. The government should stop collecting taxes to run ineffective schools, and leave money in the pockets of parents (where it belongs) so that they may choose the school they want their children to attend.

While math and science are extremely important, the narrow focus on these core subjects reduces creativity and therefore innovation, which is obvious is you look at French and Chinese societies in comparison with their American peers. Math and Science must be buttressed with a liberal education if the US is to remain competitive.
