I’m writing an article on education policy and his faults with the ideas of reform. I have some facts and figures, but I need opinions. Any help would be greatly appreciated and I am a fan of Y! A better “response” giver of prizes! Thank you. . .

Easy. You kick the Federal Government out of it. Then you allow for a competitive free market where the families have a choice thus incentivising the school to produce. If the children don’t get better then they get to choose another school. If a school is really bad it goes out of business.
First thing: get rid of all provisions of No Child Left Behind. Stop all the unnecessary testing that is taking time away from instruction. Get rid of the Department of Education. Get all Federal money out of the schools. Just for starters.
Hasn’t Barry already endorsed going away from Public School?
After all he has put his kids in Private School , so his actions say that public schools are bad, just do away with them
ONE WORD – COMPETITION.
Insure that the Teachers could teach their subject well rather than knowing their subjects but unable to teach it to students properly.
Doing away with the NEA and teachers unions would be a good start.
The first thing I would do is padlock the National Education Association. The second thing I would do is fumigate it. Educational standards have been dumbed down for decades. I would start to fail students. Examples of failure make kids work harder. Smaller is better. On average the bigger the system, the more poorly it performs. Public schooled kids do 30 points worse on standardized aptitude tests (SAT) than private schooled students. Home-schooled kids do 30 points better on SAT’s than private schooled kids. The voucher system would go a long way top make schools competitive. The problem is, it would make them competitive to get students. Once they were in the school, there would be a great incentive to send them home with good grades. They would eventually end up competing to give kids better grades more than a better education. I believe grade schools would be better off being in association with colleges and Universities. In this way, there would be goals of admission standards to the universities to work towards. As it is now, schools teach toward the state educational assessment standards instead of an actual curriculum with value.
get rid of no child left behind stupid a s s bill made by the dems
Funding education reform would be my number one priority. Instead of federal and local taxes from every taxpayer going to fund public schools, give the parents of attending children a tax incentive to fund it themselves. If taxpayers without children wish to help out, give them a tax incentive to do so, like a charity. Schools would become more competitive.
Those are my two cents.
Get the Fed, and the bureaucrats out of the education system. Too many bills and standards like the No Child Left Behind has screwed up our educational system, in other words, we are getting dumber people. We need to stop taxing schools, quit funding federal money, and let ALL schools compete. Let the parents/locals take control, and have their own reform. Abolish the State Standard tests, Dept. of Education, and No Child Left Behind. We don’t need bureaucrats to slow down society.
