A **Simple** Proposal to Reduce K-12 Costs andFree Children from K-12 Indoctrination Camps
wintertime | December 4, 2016 | wintertime

Proposal:

Award any child ( regardless of age) an official high school diploma from his local high school if they score above a certain level on the SAT, ACT, or GED exams.

Why?

1) If the purpose of compulsory education laws is to produce literate and numerate citizens then scoring above a certain level on the SAT, ACT, or GED is proof of that.

2) Fewer students in school will reduce the number of teachers needed. This means fewer salaries, pensions, and benefits that must be paid by the taxpayers. It may even mean closing down and selling some schools and property.

3) It reduces the amount of time the student spends being influenced and indoctrinated by Marxist trained teachers.

4) The young person can start post-high school training and/or college and begin his career years sooner. Increasing the years working can literally mean hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars more earned over a lifetime. The state certainly will benefit from the tax dollars collected and the young person can benefit from a better standard of living and a more secure retirement.

4)) There are advantages to having an official high school diploma when applying for college loans and scholarships, or when applying to enlist in the military.

5) The more time a person spends working in the real world of a free economy the more likely his is to understand and appreciate conservative principles.

For those parents who use government schooling for babysitting, then they would not have their child apply for early graduation. These children would remain in the government indoctrination camps ( Oops! “schools”).

The point is to increase options and freedom for parents and children.

Another goal is to reduce costs to the states and to the property owners. Even if taxes do not go down at least it would free up money for other community projects.

Good for you. In Florida dual enrollment would assist with costs on that.
