All we need is one thing:

1. Bring back corporal punishment

>>Most of the problems in the public school are caused by deliberate human actions.

Same with every negative thing about 2020.

Booya!! YES!!

I’m a certified ELA teacher in the state of Florida and it is CRIMINAL what the DOE is doing to students.

When I was teaching the hoodrats in the day treatment center, I started teaching them OLD SCHOOL because I could. Phonics, and the big thing these kids were nuts for — cursive writing!!

I found so much on the interwebs to help them.

I taught them to the educational standard (barf!) that the FDOE set forth, but then beefed up their education with real world learning. Phonics, cursive, and reading. Reading to understand, not just answer questions on tests.

My gang bangers were my favorite students. And some of them got their lives back in order.

They were tough, but I miss so many of them.

Bring back tracking.

Kids are not all the same - some learn a lot faster than others. If you don't have explicit tracking, you still implicitly track everyone into one group - either an average level where you will lose the best and brightest through boredom and the slowest will be unable to keep up, or you aim for the lowest level and screw up education for everyone.

The problem with Public schools is that they are PUBLIC. They get taxpayer money no matter how awful they preform. In fact they use failure as an excuse to get more money tossed their way!

The State Indoctrination Camps are simply too far down the collectivist hell hole to fix. Stop funding them! If parents had to pay directly for their kids education they would insist on getting what they pay for ,just like anything else in the free market. Separation of School and State is an idea whose time has come.

I was a charter school board member for 16 years. The #1 thing that has to happen for the conventional schools to break the cycle is wreck the union. As long as there are teachers’ unions controlling education, there is no hope of reform.

Missed the biggest one and two and three. Fire al teachers with teaching credentials, disband the teachers unions and eliminate the department of education.

[2001convSVT]

There is too much social promotion, students with grades of F, are routinely passed. The myth of students graduating and can’t read their diploma is no myth.

9. Teach logic and reasoning at every level. BRING back debate teams as a graduation requirement for seniors.

[sitetest]

1. Homeschool.

Then, you can ditch the rest.

[Clemenza]

Make union membership illegal and have a right to fire both teachers and administrators at will.

[Calm_Cool_and_Elected]

Why we homeschooled!

BUMP

9) NO TEACHERS UNIONS, get rid of The NEA. They are Public Employees.
10) Eliminate “Tenure”, see above.

Some people can't figure out how to give change back. I was at a well known convenience store, do I told the cashier (who looked as if she spend her elementary school days at the tattoo and piecing store) when I gave her a 20 that I had the change. The bill was 7.38, so she took the 20 and when I gave her the 38 cents, she got confused. Our 7 year old told her, 13 dollars is the change. ConservaTeen is I line after another group, so he told us, the girl said that people should give change, it confuses her.

I think that is why people want plastic instead of paper...

[Openurmind]

Teach the CONSTITUTION again.

[mewzilla]

Don’t reform.

Privatize.

[LastDayz]

Critical thinking skills, civics, and real history.

[Arlis]

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.
