K-16 would just extend the problem for 4 more years, and would allow K-12 to go right on failing. The opposite would probably be a better option: reduce K-12 to K-10, with the final 2 years being either college or job prep; but, that would only work if K-10 became what it should be with kids actually learning how to read, write, do basic life math, and knowing something about the world by age 16.
