Lotta good thoughts in that article. And it does indeed echo what I’ve thought for ages - the community, not just the teachers, need to be involved. I think people in the homeschooling community have great ideas about curriculum and teaching methods and I wish they would share at their local school level and insist that they school board use sounder based books, etc.
Until you can brace yourself and be **that** frank, the painstaking, details you've provided so far as suggestions are beside the point.
Some of us, myself included, believe that "public schooling" has built-in operational problems which translate into the death of a "free" country by the destruction of its philosophy and culture. If you will be honest with yourself, you can imagine that we don't care much to talk about the latest flavors-of-the-month in educationist circles.
Wintertime says: “work toward complete privatization of universal K-12 schooling in this nation.”
Great!!! Go for it!!! IN THE MEANTIME, I think we need to get the last-remaining smart practical people involved in education. That’s all I said. Basically, if everyone who self-identifies as a conservative or a Republican got involved in the local schools, you could change things, maybe even quickly.
(One thing that people may not realize is the degree to which the local newspaper has completely sold out. They used to advocate for the parents, now they advocate for the NEA.
Thanks for many smart comments.
