EDUCATION

 
 

“THE AUTHORITY OF THOSE WHO TEACH IS OFTEN AN OBSTACLE TO THOSE WHO WANT TO LEARN.”

— Marcus Tullius Cicero

 
 

WHY IS OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM BROKEN?

 OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM HAS BEEN RUINED BY THE ATTEMPTS TO FEDERALIZE ALL ASPECTS OF EDUCATION. FROM CURRICULUM TO FUNDING, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS ATTEMPTED TO TAKE OVER THE COUNTRY'S ENTIRE EDUCATION SYSTEM. I WANT CONTROL OF OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM BACK IN THE HANDS OF THE STATES AND LOCAL COMMUNITIES.

SO HOW CAN WE FIX IT?

  • SCHOOL CHOICE

    SCHOOL CHOICE IS ESSENTIAL IN IMPROVING OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM, BY ALLOWING PARENTS TO SEND THEIR CHILDREN TO BETTER SCHOOLS, REGARDLESS FOR SOCIAL OR ECONOMIC STATUS

  • LESS "RIGOR" MORE PRACTICALITY

    WE HAVE TO STOP OBSESSING OVER CORE ACADEMIC CLASSES IN PRIMARY EDUCATION, AND FOCUS ON BUILDING LIFE SKILLS.

  • TEACH FINANCIAL LITERACY

    WE MUST START TEACHING KIDS HOW TO MAKE MONEY, INSTEAD OF JUST HOW TO SPEND IT. CLASSES ON BUDGETING, INVESTING, AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP SHOULD BE REQUIRED ALL FOUR YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL.

  • TEACH THE TRADES

    WE MUST BRING BACK SHOP CLASSES AND START TEACHING TRADE SKILLS AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL.
