BUMP
9) NO TEACHERS UNIONS, get rid of The NEA. They are Public Employees.
10) Eliminate “Tenure”, see above.
I think that is why people want plastic instead of paper...
Teach the CONSTITUTION again.
Don’t reform.
Privatize.
Charter schools are choked by unions?
That’s right; that one step would improve the schools dramatically (if teachers would be let go for non-performance, like most people at their jobs). When the teachers come up with a list of issues outside their control that prevent learning, concede and reduce their pay (and BENEFITS) to those of daycare workers.
Critical thinking skills, civics, and real history.
WRONG!
Until Marxists are removed from the Education and Journalism Depts. in colleges and universities, public schools remain brainwashing centers.
And no one has a proposal for a way to do that.
I went to a one room school thru 7th grade.
I cannot express how grateful I am for that education.
God bless you. It breaks my heart to see college students with such low knowledge, skill and motivation. Most of them know they have been robbed somehow, but they don’t really see the route to overcoming it.
They get themselves to a college that will take them, but then the colleges give only simple assignments and pass them along pretty much no matter what—rather than chase away their government-funded customers.
As soon as you simply privatize the feds become the private schools’ main customer—and start calling the shots there just as well.
Privatize all education. Government has no responsibility to educate. Use tax money to help with tuition, not infrastructure, curriculum, or teacher salaries. Let the market determine what is needed and private institutions will make it happen.
“....and the big thing these kids were nuts for — cursive writing!!”
Please tell us more about this. In all the discussions of cursive I’ve seen, nobody mentioned what the kids like.
I.e., the Education Establishment is even more derelict than I thought.
I meant to write: ConservaTeen was in line, and he said that cashier told the people in front of him: 'People shouldn't give her change, it confuses her! ' ConservaTeen gave her lots of change for his purchase... 2.64 cents along with a 6 1 dollar bill for his 8.64 purchase.
Are you sure they were nuts for Cursive Writing? Maybe they thought you said Cursing Writing... 😀
Abolish the DOE, then salt the Earth.
eliminating cursive writing in schools eliminates the ability to read the documents that were written by our nation’s founding fathers...
Cursive script is a symptom of a disciplined mind. If you want reform, you won’t get there by teaching cursive script. That’s the cart before the horse.
Besides, we are digital now. Documents and Sütterlin is for paleographers.
Break teachers unions.
