If you had the opportunity to establish, organize and run a school. What would it be like.
My important features are:
1. Reading, Writing, Math only in grades K-3. We have watered down education so badly that the time is taken up with lessons on different types of families, visits from Healthy Bear to teach children how to brush their teeth, Fireman Freddie to teach children not to play with matches and stop, drop and roll, candy sales and puppet and orchestra performances, painting pictures in art, singing in music and playing dodgeball in phys ed.
2. Grades 4-6 include math subjects, creative writing and continue with basic reading instruction for those who are still behind grade level and literature for those on or above reading scores. The classes and courses are created for those who are not mastered the level and those that have mastered above, until almost all youngsters are on grade level which will make middle school easily teaching all students on or above grade level, leaving no one behind. Some history geography and science classes are available for on grade level students.
3. High School will be serving all students with diverse coursed algebra, geometry, calculous and trigonometry, science, biology, chemistry, physics, physiology, earth sciences, US history, World History, World governments, Civics US, Constitution, Legislative Branch, Executive Branch, Judicial Branch of US Debate and Current Events.
If we spent our 5 1/2 hours of each school day on academics, we would no longer find ouurselves on the bottom of world education. Also, we would have an informed electorate ready to vote not only for a familiar name, but someone who share the studen''s own values.
What would your school look like?
