Some ideas to fix education
Some random ideas:
- Pay teachers in poor (hard to staff) schools 50% more
- Poor schools should get at least 50% more funding to make up for how much harder the job is, and the fact they can’t fundraise
- universal healthcare for children
- Eliminate local control and funding. School boards are staffed with people unqualified to make these decisions. Fund schools at the state level and harmonize standards across districts. If poor schools can’t produce the same quality of education that means they need better people and more money
- Streamline administration to reduce overhead so money goes to education, not administration
- Allow wealthy public schools to charge means-tested tuition(crazy idea) to make up for their lower funding…either that or tax rich people more
- Accept that education actually helps everyone (and the economy)
- ignore libertarians
- universal preschool
- higher education should be free for students that can’t afford it
- stop spending three quarters of a trillion dollars a year on warfare
Yeah. And get on this, its an emergency.
