Our Goals in Education
Our goals in education across America are really quite simple.
First and foremost we want to create a way for schools to teach our
young people the basic rights and wrongs that many parents teach their
children at home, while many other parents don't. Some children go
through life and never learn the value of human life, the consequences
of drug and alcohol use, the dangers of guns, and other similar things a
lot of us think of as common knowledge. Some children don't learn these
lessons until they've endangered themselves or others.
If our schools were
provided with tools like the
"Choices of Life" interactive game/movie series we're
trying to create, a lot more children would learn these basic lessons
whether they're taught them at home or not. Click the link to learn more
about the
"Choices of Life" interactive game/movie series and how
you can help us turn it into a reality.
Our second goal is making it so that all states put
public education funding first
in the budget and what’s left over goes to all the other programs, Don’t
cut our children’s best chance for success. While we know throwing money
at the problem is not the answer, we do believe raising the standards of
our teachers and expectations of our children makes sense. It will take
sacrifice and commitment but our children deserve the best chance for
success.
Uniform funding
for all schools so all children get the same chance for success.
While test scores are important it’s not the only factor. If we have the
brightest children with the worst attitude, we have failed. It’s amazing
that we teach business ethics in our colleges, but fail to
teach any ethics to our young children.
What could be wrong with teaching our youngest that the only priceless
and absolutely unique thing in this world is their life which can’t be
replaced or duplicated. Treasure their life as well as the lives of all
others.
Smaller class sizes, It’s tough to give
individual attention
to 25 students. In K - 8th grade. We believe in a maximum 15 students
per class, and 9th – 12th with a maximum of 2o students per class.
Our teachers deserve better pay,
K-8th grade teachers should be our brightest
and best. We propose raising these teachers to a
base pay of $65,000
and adjusted across America for cost of living. With a minimum of a
Masters degree in education with a focus on early childhood development
and elementary and secondary development. Teachers with bachelors
degrees could only teach 9th - 12th with a
base pay of $50,000.
Our schools should be the
center of all communities,
encouraging all adults in the community to work with the teachers to
provide a learning experience equal to none. Our young children have to
learn that police are their friends, not the enemy. Reporting crime and
abuse is the right thing to do, not a disgrace. The importance of
treating all people as equals. Teaching the importance of being a
productive American citizen
and as they move into high school they need to learning how banks work
and how you can build your destroy their credit. We can teach how
abusing drugs and alcohol can
ruin not only their lives
but drastically effect everyone around them.
