Education by the Community
Monday, March 1st, 2010
Education is not just by a few administrators, it is by the whole community. It is time for choices that provide more opportunity, not less. Education is not meeting the mandate of classroom instruction for 6 hours. Education is not passing the student with a D.
Education is about creating a youth who is prepared to work and learn in the 21st century. The fact that a large number of youth graduating from high school are ill prepared to work in the 21st century and ill prepared to learn to achieve an associate’s degree says a lot about the public primary and secondary education system.
The fastest way to achieve better outcomes is through choice and competition. Charter schools, which are a segment of the public school system, are the right receipt to do this.
