I agree wholeheartedly with your post on how you would fix the public schools.
Your methods are well thought out and make sense, and would go along way to restoring sound education to the children who are afterall, the leaders of the future.
If only this could be done, I would breathe a lot easier, and worry less about the fate of the children who are being passed on in school without even the basic reading skills!
Bravo! I nominate you for School Czar!
Thank you. : - )
What I wrote, COULD be instituted, but it would take a lot of planning , parental involvement, and an all out propaganda war ; that the left and teacher unions, couldn't spin out of. From atound 1900 through most of the 1940's , this country had more literacy , and a better educated populace, than any other country. There are many reasons for this, as well as MANY reasons WHY / HOW that was lost.
