you are wonderfully idealistic
one cannot fix the schools, I assure you. The walls of unions, government and culture are too high.
One can only leave and make it better elsewhere and starve the school beast out.
There are historically many cases of people coming together to educate children and adults outside of the government systems.
It is time to implement it and it will force people to group with like minded to work on a cause. This will provide a communities that have otherwise been atomized by current culture. It makes a stronger child.
There is no way conservatives can enter these twisted systems. There is no way in.
One can only leave and make it better elsewhere...
What makes you think the "old rot" wouldn't eventually overtake the new paradise? It will do precisely that unless the actual problems are recognized and remedies applied. Most of "school rot" comes from lawsuits levied by parents against the school:
Too much homework
My baby deserves better grades
Its the teacher's fault my child doesn't understand
It is OK for my child to be absent whenever he/she pleases
An infinite number of makeup tests should be allowed
It should be OK to makeup work months after it was due
The course is too hard
You must teach my slow child in the advanced classes
Why is that a required course? You should be able to handle a class and deal with disruption
So on, so on, so on.
You really don't understand the problems; therefore, you wouldn't be able to solve them. Changing locations simply won't help.
