School Boards are killing our education system. Curriculums designed and approved are not improving our children by much. The ability for our children to perform at grade level in English and Language Arts 45%, Mathematics 37%, Science 30%. The standard is 50% proficiency. We expect one out of two students to be proficient at grade level? Are we ok with being below average? Should we not expect more from our education system?
We need to get back to the basics of Reading, Writing, and Math, proficiency. History as it happened. All the good, bad and ugly parts of history. Allow parents to make the choice on where and what their children are learning and doing. Nothing should be hidden from the parents about their child. Teaching is instructing on how to do something not what to think. Teaching is not parenting. Parents are key in a child’s learning and understanding and how to navigate in our world.
As taxpayers we are pouring money into public schools and what do we have to show for it? Sub-standard results? Some parents are fighting back to prevent this. You should too!!! Learn what is being taught to your children, participate in parent-teacher organizations and attend local school board meetings.
Money should follow the child not the child following the money. Parents should have a choice where their children are taught. The first question about children’s education shouldn’t be how much is it going to cost, but what we spending tax payer money on, are we spending it wisely and receiving a high result. If the money was allowed to follow the child, public schools would start to change. Tax credits for school education should be allowed nationwide. Regardless of age if a parent pays extra to educate their child, in private, home school or higher education they should be allowed to receive a tax credit for their expenditures.
