[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like how the author casually fails to mention of the impacts of progressive education policy in recent years, like instituting restorative Justice programs or less punitive approaches to managing disruptive students (like suspensions or of removing trouble students from classes), and it’s effect on teacher retention. If teachers feel they can’t teach properly because they have no recourse for disruptive students, or are in danger, but are forced to keep violent kids in classes because of these types of idealistic, naive policies, it would be good to read about that. Instead we get a watered down version of the truth.

America needs to outsource  their education, academic calendar, subjects, curriculum, syllabus, pedagogy, teachers and school discipline to [b]Indians[/b]. And outsource their school security to  Israel.

USA needs to make separate schools for students who cannot speak, read and write English. These people will be incorporated in regular school if and when they learn English.  Furthermore, even in separate schools, the immigrants should be made to also learn another foreign language and their native language.  Americans need to be trilingual.

Thing that USA needs to retain - textbooks, media centers, school supplies, fieldtrips, AC buildings, free meals, social services, free school, sports and gym.

I don't understand how school transportation can be solved.  We pretty much drove our kids to their public schools because as an immigrant I was aghast to see that the school bus was a metal box with uncomfortable seats, no AC/heating, and bullying in the bus.    I went to a private school in another country and our school bus was pretty luxurious with a driver and a helper who made sure that all of us were properly seated and there was no bullying or bad behavior.

Finally, do not promote the kids to next grade is they are functionally illiterate.  No other country has some thing as rotten as 'no child left behind'.  Without consequences this is a doomed and failing system.
