This is fairly easy to consider:
No more big Campii for elementary schools- small neighborhood schools only. Re-institute technical and vocational schools. ALL control returned to the parents, first, and the teachers. Cut the administrative staffs and “guidance counselors, in every district, by half. Push out the academics and no more undergrad or post grad “studies” in “education”. All teachers to be educated in their discipline, only.
Push out the unions.
Shut down Carter’s department of “education”.
There is no saving public schools. Single payer has never worked in the past, it doesn't work now and will never work. It's just basic economics based in human nature. There are two necessary elements to successful education of children.
1. Fathers must raise their children.
2. Parents must pay for their children's education.
Our government schools have been nationalized and put into the hands of a socialist labor union with ties to world workers commie labor movement.....
So, of course there’s a counter-movement to “privatize”.
Most important things are to decentralize and de-unionize to minimize damage......
But what is the purpose of education????
Here's a clue. John Dewey and company were never educators in the sense you're thinking of. They were indoctrinators (Marxist, of course) of the first stripe. The kids don't learn anything, and you cannot think of how they can, when the real trick is; they were never supposed to in the first place.
They only thing that mattered was getting them concentrated, in one place, to spew the propaganda, disguised as education. Real facts, real history, real skills, were all deemed less essential than the propaganda, or even totally non-essential. Some, like critical thinking skills, were deemed "counterproductive, and were not only ignored, but even totally discouraged by the "educators" in the "educatees"...

Abolish tenure AND mandatory attendance.
I served 12 years in the US Public Re-Education Camp System and hated every minute of it.
I had to deal with many extreme left-wing teachers and that is what got me hating liberals.
Yep - you nailed it. I’ve been filling in the blank spots and countering programming for my kids for years.
Make it the parent’s responsibility to have their children trained to sit, listen and participate in the class & homework.
Make the child and parent come to a training class with children for such training for as long as the children miss behave or don't get it.
Unions are the primary problem, and bad parents come in as a close second.
If the above doesn't work in three years, you give families the option of vouchers for 65% of the cost of the public education for private school and return the other 35% for national debt repayment.
Sealing the border would help, too. All those illegal children aren’t helping.
Run them like an aircraft carrier. Every person and every piece of equipment has its purpose.
Separation of Schools from the State!!!!
Take gov OUT!!!!!
Can you imagine what it would be like with NO PROPERTY TAXES to prop up the left would do???
I agree with you, wintertime.
It’s gonna get destroyed. It has to. There is a time for everything, and right now many things are going to get destroyed, because they are too evil and bloated not to.
The problem is that they say that is what they are doing. But they use a system that is so convoluted and confusing that the children mostly are unable to learn.
How about write a book about how horrible the schools are with lots of personal stuff from various teachers and students to give it a real story feel? Make it simple for ordinary people who are not scholars to read?
Maybe Regnery or someone would pay for printing it.
In short, ‘public education’ is nothing more than ‘serf school’.

Serf school! Wow! I love that term! Great description!
That's a classic 'teacher's union' excuse...
Do feel free to use the term in debates, as you will...

nix #5 and I agree
I love horror stories like this. Even at a Christian college. More scary than Steven King. People have no idea the nonsense that goes on.
If anybody wants to write up some stories, I’ll present them if anonymity is needed. Or I’ll email interview the most vocal person.
