	Systemic Education Reform. ERIC Digest
		Systemic reform is proposed as an alternative to tinkering and add-on programs that, critics say, will not meet the demands of business, parents, communities, and students for fundamental change and significant improvement in schools.
		Reformers hope that by "totally rethinking the very structure of the education system," schools will be better prepared to meet the needs of all children and the communities in which they live (Education Commission of the States 1991).
		To prepare superintendents to be leaders in fundamental education reform, Murphy (1991) asserts that three changes must occur: Administrator preparation programs must be revitalized, the working conditions of superintendents must be improved and the superintendent-school board relationship clarified, and "our images of bold leadership and the people who exercise it" must be altered.

	Vouchers and School Choice, End Socialized Education
		John Stuart Mill wrote "A general State education is a mere contrivance for moulding people to be exactly like one another." Our Soviet-style state schools are designed to detach children from the values of their parents, destroy their moral foundations and degrade their ability to think independently.
		Further, when school districts were mostly small, and schoolboards composed of local residents known to everybody, it was quite possible for the parents to know just what was being taught; and to have their wishes consulted in the engagement or retention of teachers and the choice of textbooks.
		Tax breaks point to the reform of the future: parents will resent government telling them how to spend their own money and the elimination of all government interference in education will be a natural progression.
