NO! NO! NO! "Return" the money to the PEOPLE, by an across-the-board reduction in income-tax rates.
Why is the money IN Washington at all? No good reason.
Ronald Reagan called it "the money merry-go-round." The federal government collects money and then "returns" it to the states with strings attached. The money being squandered (worse than squandered) by the federal government does not belong to the STATES. It belongs to the PEOPLE.
I say block grant the money to the states for a limited period of time until states can fund education on their own.
The State is still the government. As JS Mill stated, that when government controls education, it will never educate, it will just make slaves for the State.
All “education’ needs to go back to local control (parental) only-—all boards etc., should be made up of parents of the students. Small amount of property tax would be needed to fund the teacher and textbooks—which would no longer be copyrighted——we don’t need superintendents, etc. and the bureaucracy which is designed to make text book companies billionaires, and people who destroy parental connections and authority wealthy and set for life with pensions, etc.
Return to original McGuffey Readers —Classical Education which is the only true “education” system which gives ALL children the tools to “think” on their own.
Education comes from the desire to Know-—which is only found inside the child. Schools today are designed to destroy that desire to Know——destroy curiosity/innocence-—to destroy the Wonder-—on purpose, so children become useful idiots-—too dumb and lazy to learn the Truth-—where vice (emotions) rule Reason.
Remove all “testing” for exit exams only-—to be owned locally-—no “State” data mining. No computers/screens in the classroom (instant gratification/destroys wiring/integration of the brain in young children) who are designed to use all their senses and decode-—not have a machine do the mental work which is how individualism and creativity and thinking outside the box is destroyed. The minds ability is truncated when machines do all the work-—create the mental pictures that should be generated by imagination (individualism-—not the perceptions of others).
Children were much better educated before “mandatory” education rules-—that is NOT a government responsibility to educate——it is the parents’ Natural Duty to educate all their biological offspring.
Lincoln didn’t even have literate parents-—but if parents truly love their children, they teach them to be independent and autonomous and they learn Real Life skills in REAL LIFE situations——not in front of screens or trapped in group think factories which only teach to fear to think outside the box and embed mass conformity of State Religion (instant gratification and Vice is “Good” and Virtues are evil).
In Waldorf schools, (wealthy send their kids there)-—they sign an agreement to not allow children under 13 to use computers, watch TV-—etc. Why? Think about it. TV watching, etc....shuts down the brain activity-—makes the brain not work like it is designed to do.....it STUNTS the growth and the neuron development. All studies prove that the more TV watched by a child, the lower IQ.....they have pictures of brains of children watching screens——the brain is literally almost complete shut down.....unlike with Reading (decoding uses tons of neurons).
All highly educated people READ BOOKS-—and they are the GREAT BOOKS. The minds like Newton—were raised memorizing the Bible-—the Bible created the most brilliant minds in the history of the World-—the one book that our schools BANNED in the 60s. You DO know why your masters want your children to be useful idiots, don’t you?????? Not their children-—who NEVER are fed Common Core and NCLB or GOALS 2000-—all idiot curricula-—to create dumb ignorant drones.
