One of the simplest education reforms is choice. Parents should be allowed to send their
children to any school they want and funding should follow that child. Compulsory education needs to be readdressed. Teachers can spend the majority of their time
disciplining one or two children while the majority of the children that are in class to learn are deprived of the attention they deserve. Troublemakers should be separated from
learners and if they do not reform, they should be expelled. School boards should be allowed to contract for
services in order to reallocate revenue to areas they feel are more conductive to learning.The Field Act should be repealed and schools should be built using the Uniform
Building Code without a prevailing wage requirement. Schools cost about 50% more and take years longer to build with all of the bureaucratic obstacles in the way. |
