Public schools solution?
« on: April 29, 2008, 07:22:37 PM »
Okay, FL has massive budget cuts.  1-2 teachers per grade level are being let go.

The debate is this...

If you have to either:

A) Cut 10 teachers and raise class levels by 5 students (lowering quality of education and making some crabby/crappy teachers), or

B) Cut the football program.

What should they do?

release crabby teachers

Teachers get crabby when you take away their planning periods, toss 7 more kids in their class, take away their paper and printer ink budgets, and toss them on mandatory committees for "No child left untested".

That's just my experience though.

If times are that hard, cut the football program. There is too much emphasis on sports and not enough on math and science anyway. We're being crushed by China and India in those areas because their schools are much more rigorous.

public school is there to keep children occupied during the day.

Do you realize South Korea has just as  many engineers as the USA does?  China has 4 times more.

30 percent of scientific and engineering personnel in silicon valley are Chinese or Indian.

it's in that Discover Magazine on the store shelves right now:  "Top 75 Questions of Science"


WE NEED SOLUTIONS TO BE PUT IN PLAY.........not party-line blame.

Wasn't it Florida that wanted to test all high school athletes for AAS? Did that go through? If it did they should cancel that shit (should anyway) and they'd have a lot more money to pay teachers.

For Fuck sake's 240, weren't you a school teacher?  The solution is a goddamned easy one.

Deviate from the "No dumb child left behind."  Let there be a State-mandated(working with local and professional level consultants) course that is challenging and on a comparable level as to what the rest of the world puts on its children.  Mathematics, Sciences, Economics, English, Spanish, French, Shop, Health, History and some sort of Interraction class should be part of the curriculum.  From this point on, all graduating students should be bilingual and more than ready for any university.  If someone is lagging behind, the curriculum continues unabated. If it takes someone to reach 25 years of age to graduate high school, then so be it.

Academic delinquencies tied directly to shame and peer pressure should once again be a part of student life.  Sports can also play a major developmental role but not to the detrement of academics.  It doesn't take a genius to figure out that money is not the main issue here.  Nor can we blame crappy teachers, many of whom are which deemed to be "crappy" because their hands are tied in forcing to teach students how to take tests(like the FCAT here in Florida) rather than teach comprehensive and real world skills.

Cut ALL sports programs.

If you want to play sports join a sports club.

If you want to educate yourself go to school.  >:(
