The education establishment has a pathological commitment to its absurd and profoundly destructive pedagogical theories in every area and certainly won’t change in any relevant time period. I know that you focus on reading, but competence in math, writing, history, etc. is also being denied to students in the government school system by our highly trained education professionals. And, then, there is the self-destructive sexual and other behavior that is promoted to children throughout the government school system...
The system has to be completely destroyed. Only a “Carthaginian Peace” will put us back on the right road. “School reform” never will.
The existing model is socialist. The foundation is corrupt and can not be reformed.
Honestly,...I am EXASPERATED! I feel like Jeremiah warning the Israelites of the coming catastrophe.
When will conservatives finally understand that government schools can NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT be reformed? They must be abolished. Simply by attending godless and socialist government schools, children learn to love godlessness, socialism, and government!
The only solution is for conservatives to open private conservative schools. They will need to be tuition-free initially because that is the tuition charged by government schools. Conservatives will need to match the government cartel-set price of “free”.
I suggest the following:
***Conservatives would organize educational foundations.
***The foundations would award grants to conservative teachers who would open tuition-free one-room schools in their homes, day care centers, or small rented spaces. ( The savings on not having to maintain prison-like structures would be very very great!)
***The foundations would certify the teacher, inspect the schools, approve the curriculum, and test the students.
*** The foundations would run larger community-wide science labs, sports programs, and theater, music, and art programs. ( The government monopoly on “bush-league” or “farm-team” sports must be broken. It is amazing the amount of “rah-rah” support for government schools is due to this monopoly that government has on entrance to professional team sports.)
*** The education foundations would politically organize the parents and community to work for complete abolishment of all government schooling. Programs such as theater, art, music, and sports could be transferred to the Department of Parks and Recreation or completely privatized in a manner that represents our current volunteer fire departments.
In five to ten years our nation's college classrooms would be filled to the brim with students capable of defending their faith and our nation's founding principles. Their Marxist professors would wither before their righteousness. Christian and conservative clubs, volunteer programs, fraternities, and sororities would abound. In 10 more years these young adults would be taking their places in universities, our cultural institutions, business, and politics. In 20 more years we would see a complete change in our culture.
Why don't conservatives see or understand this?
