If you could control education in the US...
Obviously our education system sucks for the most part... If you were in control of everything, what changes would you make? (Other than an extra half hour for recess!) |

Seems unlikely that anyone on this forum has done the necessary research to answer this question at all intelligently.

Actually, the fact that most people have attended public schools in the US for 12 years, and will also have children who will attend these same schools gives people a lot of information and passion about the issue. |

Re: If you could control education in the US...
OK, so people can't have opinions on things unless they are part of the machine that they are discussing? No one's saying we're gonna have all the answers, but things totally suck the way they are right now. |

What's the over/under on smart-ass replies such as hands-on sex ed and optional attendance?

[/ QUOTE ] I'm voting for political forum on this one. But if I could control it, the thing I would do is take control of it away from the govt. Govt education is nothing more than a wonderfully efficient brainwashing machine. Everyone will not sit quietly at attention and listen to the appointed government representative at the front of the room... If all the government was interested in was universal education, they would simply issue vouchers to everyone to go to private schools so that obviously isn't the only purpose. |

[/ QUOTE ] Of course not, but there are many assumptions that go unquestioned. For example, how many people in school have truly questioned whether our system of government is the best? That free-market economies work better than others? That free speech is a good thing? These all might very well be true, but they largely go unquestioned. |
