re: how can we improve our educational system?

1. Allow un-PC topics to be part of discussion in high school
2. allow corporal punishment for children as a last resort punishment
3. allow those who don't care if they fail to be left behind
4. Stop treating everyone as if they MUST go to college to be a success. Trades are extremely valuable and students should be allowed to explore them in school.
5. teach actual skills in high school or at least make it more of an option (cooking, auto shop, wood shop, agriculture, accounting, welding, electrical work, software engineering, ect)
6. A greater focus on civics.
7. More and earlier foreign language courses to build fluency.
8. Abolish public sector unions. You already get to elect your bosses. There's no need to screw over taxpayers as well.

I think our schools spend too much time trying to teach many kids Physics, Calculus, and literature (does every American really need to learn how to analyze poetry and English novels every single year?)


Not everyone needs to go to college, most people shouldn't go to college, and most people won't go to college, so let's be adults about this and stop making our kids believe that that is the only choice for them.
