Most people today just take it as a given that this mess is unsolvable, short of homeschooling, which I am A Great Proponent for, for those who can do it, and have the requisite knowledge and skills to do so. Unfortunately, there are too many who do not possess these abilities and qualities nor can afford to stay home.
In lieu of that, Parents and Citizens, generally, should Demand An End and Total Dissolution of the U.S. Department of Education, a huge Wasteful Bureaucracy from which Spills This Liberal Agenda and Dumbing Down System to begin with. Then, Abolish State Departments of Education. Then, reduce the sized and waste of Your Local School Boards of Education. Then, Build your Elementary and Middle Schools in the neighborhoods and communities where the children live and play, not to exceed 400 students in each school and no classroom sizes more than 20 students per 1 teacher. This is the start and this can all be done with the existing monies after you abolish the Bureaucracy which is where most of Education Dollars are now spent, along with Contracts to Buy Useless Computers and other Media in Elementary and Middle Schools. Computers are tools, not teaching aids. Kids learn best and learn things that last, such as Math Skills by Doing Math. Learn Writing by Writing. Learn Reading By Reading. Get Back To Basics. Get back To Rational Thinking.
Without the Destruction Of the Bureaucracy that now Mandates all The Attrocities that are taking place, and being backed by Liberal Legislators, and the NEA, we will never turn this country around. End of Conversation. It is simply cut and dry.
