Eliminate the NEA and all teachers unions. Take the $ sent to gov't schools and give it to families that choose to do it themselves.
We home schooled our 4 kids. But here in MA, we were required to be a satellite school, connected to our local public school district. So technically, our kids were "attending" the gov't school, but doing so at home. So the school continued to get the funding and we got nothing from them. We had the privilege to pay taxes to support the school and then pay more money to buy our own curriculum.
Exactly! School lesson plans are "simple". Does the curriculum help aid someone in getting a job? Yes? Perfect.
Does it tell you you're a perpetual victim, a different gender, that everything is an "ist" word, and fails to prepare you for a job while burying you in a lifetime of debt? That's a brainwashing cult masquerading as "school".
Problem behind lesson plans is that the teacher has to teach towards the “essential learning targets”, in TX, it’s called the TEKS. The TEKS are decided by people in Austin.
Get rid of the current textbooks, and then go back another 2 decades. All of them, maybe leave the upper level math books. ALL of the subjects have been infiltrated.
All of those things are taught in the public schools in my area.
The reality is, that many choose not to partake. Many do not care about any of that stuff. You can't put enough money out there to make people care about what they don't want to. In the old days, people would just drop out in eighth grade when they didn't want to do school anymore.
They used to teach morality in schools, too. Shocking. What was accepted and mainstream at the turn of the 19th century, when society was well-regulated and real wages (inflation adjusted) were 25%-30% higher than today, is now considered religious right-wing extremism and deplorable Naziism.
My public school teaches phonics. Many do. If your child has auditory processing disorder, phonics don't help. Fortunately, my public school taught Orton Gillingham phonics which helps those with APD.

WHAT A SCAM! And yes, I am yelling.
isolating kids from each other is a mistake..
school used to be a very bonding experience and taught kids how to cope with others..
take our schools back and end the Dept. of Education

And Phonics...
Shit is addicting. I was hooked on phonics.
