My 101 -year -old mother first taught in a school building in a single room in Montana until the eighth grade, and later moved to Wyoming. She was unable to use today's technology, but she gave her successful education under her tutor through her tutor.
Many of them succeeded in business, agriculture and academic world. And she is very skilled in educating students in both urban and rural areas, not alone, and thousands of teachers to build this great country in that process. Masu.
We know how to educate children, and have successfully done so, engineers, water literature, medical experts, lawyers, businessmen, AG producers, resource managers, and other occupations I judged that it was. We know this. Because the United States is not comparable to the quality and skills of our workers.
The National Educational Statistics Center, which manages the national evaluation (NAEP) of education progress (NAEP) in 4th and 8th graders every two years, has released “” as “”.Country report card。 “, The outlook is not good.
It has to encourage us to ask us: Why are we fail now? So far, what has changed in the past 40 years that has been confusing in the education field?
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, our children continue to slide their reading skills, and mathematics has improvements that can hardly be perceived. Our school had already declined before political and educated leaders forced school to close the school. But now, our students have not been on the ground since the school was resumed.
And the problem is exactly the worst where you expect. The best performance students are back in shape, but those who have been late now have lost the ground. In mathematics, you can clearly see this gap between eighth graders. The top 10 % of the students increased the score by 3 points on average, but the lower 10 % decreased (6 points). And there is one -third of the eighth graders in the United States The following evaluation of “basic” for reading。
These test scores are not only tragic and unacceptable. We have to make a better request. We cannot read or read mathematics to lead students to lead the most powerful country on the earth.
Can these children learn in some way than the previous generation? I should refuse that concept and do so. It was adult who failed, and our educational elite -and for a long time.
The fact that I know how to learn about children and children as a product of excellent education at a country in a country in Central America. Please do not disturb the bureaucrats.
I explain her responsibilities in charge of the children, explain the ability to educate the children, emphasize the emphasis, and emphasize that they emphasize their children without the benefits of the Ministry of Education. I explained and emphasized the ability to do. We may feel that we grew up from Washington to be able to function properly without the guidance of the federal bureaucracy, but we have prospered.
We have prospered for generations. Thanks to the education we received, we build classical reading, high school calculations and triangular methods, what we need to succeed in agriculture and construction, and what we need for dam and irrigation design. The system that is welded to the west.
Our educational system was developed to become our community and our country -producing and successful members. It is not created to promote the nonsense of social justice or focus on important things in the Liberal Arts School Lounge in Vermont.
I often meet people who were shocked to know that the Ministry of Education was relatively young and was created by President Jimmy Carter. In the pen stroke of 1979。 Later, this department became an incompetent giant with individuals who promote educational philosophy in our country and the constitutional foundation and war. Therefore, it is legal to question whether it should exist at all.
In 2024, the department boasted a budget of $ 238 billion with 4,400 employees. In the world after the pandemic, the parliament assigned additional $ 190 billion In elementary school and junior high school, to support recovery of learning losses. These funds have obviously was wasted. In other words, the money is not used effectively to educate our youth. It has disappeared to the Ministry of Education's MAW without the accountability for failure.
Educational activities without the department are well known. For example, Federal bureaucrats, I spent 3 years to replace “sex” Fixed federal education under the Civil Rights Law with “sexual orientation and gender identity”.
They interfered with the teacher's ability to remove destructive and dangerous students from the classroom. And at the time of our unity, they promoted the flow of an infinite “wake” policy to impair the pride of being an American. result? They are changing generations of generations who cannot read or do math and cannot believe that the United States is evil.
Just like scary, there is a section titled “” on the website of the department.Birth up to 12th grade“The government exposes their intentions to make our children parents, and God saves us all.
Probably, common sense and practicality have been revived in response to a panic that exposes our Ministry of Education's failure. So this is the time to act. The Ministry of Education must be abolished and cooperated with the state to develop and implement a world -class educational system that provides services to all students and our families. Educational system.
This is the only long -term solution to save and activate American education.
