What do you think of my education reform proposal?

Washington loves to talk about our broken education system,they pass bills like ‘no child left behind’.They pass the bills,sign them into law and what happens a few weeks later?We find these very bills extremely underfunded and ironically “left behind” by our very own “representatives”. The truth about our education system is that it is simply broken,unfair,and unjust. As a wealthy super power, shouldn’t we also have an education system that enhances us,prepares our future generation for workforce competition and enables them and our country as a whole to have a brighter future.



There are hundreds of thousands of children in this country that can not locate a single european country on the map.These kids are often forced to go to underfunded schools with an unqualified teaching staff that fail to undergo vigorous vetting to make sure that they wont fail our children and our country. But what the heck!How can we expect teachers to be functional when not even our congress dares to step up,take a stance and invest in our most necessary resource;education.



We have to give incentives to people so that they choose to become educated;government needs to make sure that every school all around the united states, inner city or rural, has the tools necessary to provide a quality education to the future generations.



We need reform now! I have a proposal.



* Set up one federal bureau of education that will be responsible for asking for certain funding and outlining needs,structures and developments.

* Set up 50 state education bureaus to tackle state educational issues.Such as rigorous surprise school inspections to make sure that every school/staff is up to excellent standards.

* Make sure that every city that has a population of 200,000+ has two community colleges,two high schools,two elementary/junior high schools,and 1 main library.

* Make internet access and the newest technology/textbooks mandatory in every public school in the country. Spend an approximate $13 billion to make sure that every school has computers,the internet,and textbooks for every single student.

* Cover SAT prepping and testing costs for every public school student in the country to make sure that our students are competitive %26amp; able to get into the school of their choice.

* Create at least 400 more vocational institutes state wide to give students the option to go to college or prepare to go into the workforce or learn a trade.



* Promote sex education in high schools,teach them the consequences of teen pregnancy and where it leads them too.Teach them about their choices,their alternatives,and what they can accomplish.

* Create the Autism Education Program(A.E.D.) to vigorously tackle the investigation of the causes and cures for autism and at the same time create free of charge educational institutions for these children and special parenting courses.



Degree Incentive Program



I want a program that will create an incentive for people in this country to pursue the goal of getting a college or vocational degree. The incentive would be in the form of tax rebates for those that can prove that they are alumni of a college or vocational institution. They would go in the following order.



Associates Degree/Vocational Degree/Military Service(2+ years): $350 annual rebate for a 3 year period



Bachelor’s Degree: $700 annual rebate for a 5 year period



Master’s degree: $1200 annual rebate for a 7 year period



Doctorate’s Degree + : $1700 annual rebate for a 9 year period.



Property tax incentive: A reduction of 5% on all property taxes for a period of 7 years for all of the aforementioned.What do you think of my education reform proposal?
Heres an idea. Go back to a time when education worked in this country and we were the leaders in education. Back when the federal government had nothing to do with it and it was handeled by local municipalities. More federal government intervention just means worse education.What do you think of my education reform proposal?
Consider this might also work a combination of Civic Currency and Green Agenda which turn will encompass these issues as well as poverty.



If question not meant to mock that is.



Global Warming gone and other issues perhaps resolved in oneWhat do you think of my education reform proposal?
How do you plan to pay for all this? I think your interest in saving education is commendable, but we cannot bankrupt the country at the same time.
Great program and one I would vote for. However, you have left a couple of things out.



We also need parent involvement. Perhaps we could find a way to reward parents for their childrens behavior and effort.We also need parents who care enough to make sure the kids learn what they need to learn. Not only by insisting they go to school, but that they actually learn rather than to simply take answers off the net.

Another option would be to give a bonus to every teacher of every student who excels in school. But their standing would be based on the results of rigorous tests requiring proficiency in every subject. Teachers are underpaid and often undereducated themselves and as long as they continue getting paid at all for a so so job, some will take it. We need to encourage excellence.
