Progressive Policies are NOT Working. There Needs to be a Change!

dems created the Dept of Education...

If it's hurting America you can count on it being the cheating, Lying Propagandists... I mean, The DemonRats

You mean Dept of Indoctrination.

Precisely

I wish!

Absolutely they could. Sometime listen to Jerry Clower’s “Why can’t Johnny read?”

Let's defund as many public school districts as possible, so parents can either send tbeir kids to private schools or homeschool them.

Thanks. The benefits of a town with no public school district go beyond better academic performance. You can spend the money on other priorities, such as infrastructure, libraries, parks and recreation centers, or first responders. Or you can cut property tax rates by as much as 70%, encouraging residents and businesses to move in. The businesses that move into a town with no public school district can pay their employees more or take more risks. Banks in such a town can pay more interest to account holders.

As a former high school band director, who left and went to the dark side, with my own band, I believe in the public school system. But it is become so perverted, perhaps it needs to be scraped.

This is false, while there are some problems with the American education system, the US has about a ~95% literacy rate, which is actually pretty high compared to all other countries.

Upvoted your kind correction. However, I got my information from Quora, whom I trust. Check it Out:
https://www.quora.com/Out-of-a-list-of-197-countries-by-the-highest-literacy-rate-is-the-United-States-125th-on-the-list#

Idk, based on what ive seen quora has 50/50 accuracy on most things, I wouldn't really trust it that much, unless the person giving the answer provided a source to go along with it.

Actually, Stalcon, while you might think that the United States is at the forefront of literacy and education, it ranks 125th for literacy rate among all countries. https://journal.imse.com/the-state-of-global-literacy-and-where-the-united-states-stands/#

Thanks for the source, I read the article, it's quite interesting and I agree with some of the points they make. I feel like a good solution to the problem could be to hire better equipped teachers to teach a wide variety of students and also pay them well so more people want to become teachers. Getting parents more involved in their child's literary journey could also be good but some parents don't have the ability to do that so it's better to find solutions in the schools rather than at home.

I don't believe many of the teachers should be in this business. Teaching is not a profession that you take up to become a millionaire. It is a trade like that of a policeman, fireman or nurse. It is for those who have been imbued with a calling. It is for those who want to help young people grow. Is it a great way to make money? No, of course not. I was a teacher. They have many good folks. They have many scumbags who have reached tenure and could care less about a child's growth. Here's one of them...

I think increasing wages would of course attract some people who only want to do it for money, but it creates a wider pool of people to select from, so schools can be more selective and hire someone who actually cares about teaching. The higher wage also causes more passionate people to become teachers but didn't because it wasn't a viable job as they wouldn't get payed enough.

Upvote for you! However, you miss my point. I was High School Band Director. If I didn't love playing music more, I would have continued. There was a time when people cared more to be good at there calling. You know, if you are smart enough to work at what you really enjoy doing, you never will work a day in your life. I do not play music for money. Maybe that's why I've successful. My best to you.

I'm very happy you've gotten to live the life you want :). Thanks for the wishes and I wish the best for you as well :>.

Constantly underfunding the schools is not working. Sending everyone to charter schools so our tax dollars go straight into corporation pockets will make things worse.

Underfunding? We spend more on education per child than any other country. What we get is massive administration costs for people like Weingaten to collect a salary for delivering nothing. More funding would only mean more administrators lining their pockets while kids still don’t learn.

Thank you for fighting the good fight... though there is little hope against brainwashed zombies. Here's a meme in case the children say, "No, you."

I’ve seen Stossel’s special in question. It’s very informative.

...and watch —they will fight you to the death that their education principals are working when they don't have an idea what they are talking about...
