[QUOTE="C_Hallbert, post: 3786281, member: 42957"] With respect to your remarks recommending that the system (public education system) should be scrapped and that technical/trade programs should be available for those incapable or uninclined to pursue a college education, I agree. In many public education systems there has been a long-standing emphasis on passing children up through the grades without insuring that they have achieved mastery of the intended curriculum. Even worse, curriculums have been diluted as a ploy to enable children to move up with apparent success while omitting the fundamental material that our education systems have traditionally sought to inculcate: the production of citizens with the ability to reason, function in various productive roles in society and to understand from where we have come as a culture and a nation. Instead, all too many School Administrations and ‘so called’ teachers are motivated to promote progressive social change rather than independent, intelligent, patriotic citizens through the education process. If our nation is to survive in the form in which it originally evolved, teaching will have to redirect its objectives back to the basics (Reading-Writing-Arithmetic, World History, Civics, and Sciences). The performance of teachers and students should be evaluated through comprehensive testing and finally, standardized testing at the end of each school year. Homework, Class Participation and Notebooks should only count toward Attitude. Also, students violating criminal laws should immediately be reported to the police. [/QUOTE]
