Seeing as how a lot of robots here know how shitty public schools in the U.S are, why don't we discuss school reforms. For example, in mathematics education, I think keeping a list of students who get bad scores in math, and calling the parents immediately if they fail a math test or miss 3 or more maths assignments in a row, as well as asking the parents to sign their kid up to after school maths tutoring, is the best way to improve math scores. The teachers should also be expected to give a list of HW they will assign for that semester to the parent. This I hope would be a good way to encourage parents to get involved in their children's education by checking whether or not they've done so, and hopefully can foster a society which cares about basic education.
Public School Reform

why the emphasis on math? I think reading is a more important skill to build an education from.
We will start at the basic level by mercilessly slaughtering every filthy shitskin spic and nigger.
Performance and average scores will improve tenfold.
If someone is already failing they probably haven't had the best family situation and I doubt their parents would actually care. Most people in public schools are left to their own devices.
They need to abolish college board. They're the reason nobody can even speak English in America. People think liberal arts is a career but in fact it is just a well-rounded education, and they seem to have forgotten that.
The things in reccomending are small changes that may increase the chance for a students success in math. In reading, falling a bit behind is ok since catching up is easier, for math this is not the case.
Its more like brute forcing something. Most likely a student who is failing has a shit family situation, yes, but sometimes no. I also wanted to take some practices in east Asian countries and apply them to U.S schools as well. Things such as the posting of grades on a school bulletin board accessible by other students, so that grades become a social pressure as well.
Well, you're not wrong about the outcome.
School funding for more teachers and basic fucking equipment, not just sports shit(which is also an important part of the school experience if you happen to lean that way, as well as having other clubs and activities available for the kids who don't.) Hell, I passed every class I ever had simply by reading the fucking textbook since most teachers are too lazy to come up with their own tests and just go from what the books say. Make tenure not a thing anymore and every teacher is on the block for firing every 2-4 years if they don't have satisfactory performances. Shit heads who disrupt class get segregated into the retard classes since they bring the average down. Teachers are allowed to beat students who start fights/bully others. Break up the schedule a bit, go to classes for a month, get a week off, rinse and repeat. Have more welding, auto, woodshop, plumping and apprenticeship type programs available, especially in rural areas where cubicle jockey work simply isn't a thing. There's so many tiny things that would simply make everything better for students and teachers and the community that wouldn't take much effort at all. But no, none of this will ever happen because muh budgetz.
Reading is more important than math, even if it's easier to catch up in reading than math, I'd consider reading/vocabulary a more useful everyday life skill than math. I think it's a bigger problem when someone doesn't know what a certain word means or struggles to get the main point from a sentence or paragraph than it is to mess up a simple math calculation.
I say get rid of you cumskins too. With just Asians and jews in school the usa would have the highest average scores the world has ever known.
>you were too edgy and I cut myself a little.
One significant issue I remember in public education was the single basket philosophy. Everything was designed around the average which is obviously going to hurt the kids who fall towards either extreme. Kids with learning disabilities are going to be overwhelmed and likely give up. Kids who are gifted are going to not be challenged, get bored, and check out.
Our literary education is already pretty good. You'd have to be a complete retard to not have learned how to read and write effectively once you got to highschool. Though maybe it's different in other states. I'm a commiefornian.
It's not as good in the south, It's pretty good here in the midwest but in general I think there should be a movement to improve communication skills. I think most of us here at Jow Forums could have benefited from a few communication classes in high school.
Pretty sure user has much more in mind than just knowing how to read and write.
Reading comprehension comes to mind
>oh the irony
A lot of places don't put a lot of emphasis on reading since they assume the parents are participating in the kids' education. Parents are fucking puzzled when little Jimmy doesn't know how to read because they assume the school is teaching him everything and they don't have to do shit except make sure he doesn't run into the street or throw a tantrum and make them look bad. Most parents are shitty user. Thankfully mine taught me to read before I was enrolled into elementary. Though they still thought I was retarded or something because I said almost nothing and refused to read aloud in class.
>Start teaching philosophy alongside history
Studies show that mandatory philosophy classes result in higher scores in both math and English/reading/grammar.
>Replace mathematics with general symbolic and quantitative logic
Not only will this help students understand rhetoric, debate, and policy more, it is a vital move if computer programming is going to be integral to our economy in the future.
>Mandatory civics and political science
Every 18 year old should have a high school diploma, and that high school diploma should guarantee that you understand American politics well enough to proceed as an informed voter -- something fundamental for the success of a democratic society.
>Replace large breaks with several smaller breaks, e.g. 2-or-1-week vacations
Students will forget less between semesters and get a more realistic view of engaging in the workforce.
>End high school at 10th grade
Junior and senior year are almost 100% review. Axe them.
>Free public 2-year technical college
By 18, a person should understand what they're interested in. Engaging in that before having the option to advance to a 4-year program provides every student with a solid occupation to fall back on.
Practical communication skills, like speech classes? They are only good if you get the opportunity to use them and you aren't socially ostracized. Though I see the use. How is southern literary education bad?
You forgot the mandatory gun safety class in high school
current school subjects
>math
>english
>science
>history
>physical education
actual subjects that public school should teach
>properly socializing
>pursuing and maintaining sex and relationships
>raising children
>cooking and cleaning
>car maintenance
>getting employed and working
>choosing and pursuing a career
The only thing to leave in would be physical education. Math, science etc. should wait until college and you should only learn what is relevant to your trade or major
Forgot to add:
>Make all technical college credits transferable to any accredited university
This means that the 4-year program becomes a 2-year program. By the end of the stay in technical college, all general proficiency classes should be covered. Major-specific classes should be the bulk of what is covered in university. Effectively, students could advance at the age of 20 into their full profession, as opposed to 22-26. Productivity will be greatly increased, creating a booming economy for a number of years.
These are actually really interesting suggestions
This man has the right idea
While you're at it, sponsor free public colleges and open programs based on demand/supply.
Add more technicaly subjects in school so that studens know what they are good at or enjoy doing
A lot of the southern states rank in the lower section of literacy and education. As for communication skills it should be focused on everyday speech in informal and formal conversational situations.Doesn't necessarily have to be a speech. Also should have a part on written communication, you could argue more people use written communication more nowadays than verbal. This could also have formal and informal sections
>read
>effectively
Part of reading effectively is reading comprehension. I would've thought that it was implied in my statement?
Well what I mean is, in what ways does southern education fail? Are there specific reasons? Or is it just the culture there?
That IS the irony I was speaking of.
I often see people who can read quite well, often with amln impressive personal lexis, that completely fail to comprehend exactly what they are reading.
I remember comprehension being something of an afterthought when I was in school.
I'm not quite sure why exactly but if I were to make a guess I would guess lack of funding and perhaps the culture. In a lot of rural areas, not just in the south, there is more of an emphasis on helping out on the farm/family business. Also when you and your parents are poor there is more of a motive to make money to support the family rather than getting an education. Or even lack of adult supervision due to financial struggles so the kids wander free and don't have the discipline or interest to go to school while the parents work a dead end job trying to pay the bills on time.
Remove the government. No one should be forced to pay for others shit
What's so bad about public high schools?
Free, structured, good social environment, and you can challenge yourself if you want or do the minimum. The minimum is easy enough for any 90 IQ nigger to pass so if they don't it's intentional.
Only problem is bad security but they could have 1-2 choke points with a few armed guards then most of the shooting bullshit would end.
In my school there were legit like 4 unlocked unguarded entrances when anyone could have walked in.
College is $20k/year liberal indoctrination centers now let's fix them
Maybe your school wasn't a garbage heap.
I can tell you that mine was. It was in a poor white trash ghetto to begin with there was defalcation of what funds were coming in.
I learned considerably more on my own than I did in school
Oh you would have learned geometry and calculus in your spare time not school... bs dude. What was actually so bad besides the guaranteed ghetto kids?
adopt the nordic way:
-No homework.
-No testing/grading for every little shit.
-No kinder, children enroll school at 7 years old.
-paid maternity leave for both parents
-More free time
-More socializing
-less structured, more flexible content to fit the student capacities and needs (if im a pro at math but i suck at chemistry, id rather dedicate and inmerse myself head-on in my favorite subject for a full year than keep suffering on something i don't like).
- Give credit to other non-industrial assignatures (arts, dance, crafts, a trade, anything).
- Make attendance non-mandatory
- Make public schools as good as private ones, or just eliminate the privatization of schooling altogether so that people have no choice but to improve the public system.
- suspend teacher work inamobility, stop the "lemon dance", change the syndical system. (youtube.com
and many other stuff
I actually did learn geometry in my free time. It's not like I had any friends or was even allowed by my overprotective tyrant mother to do shit anyway.
90% of the teachers were fresh out of college and didn't know what they were doing. Most experienced teachers left for higher pay.
We didn't get personal text books that we could take home. We actually had to share text books while in class because the school couldn't afford mew ones.
Electives? Lol, your funny. Have some art class but bring 100% of your own supplies (but sorry the wiggers will steal your supplies)
alright einstein should I keep talking to a larper
We can all agree the shittiest schools should get at least manageable funding
>unable to believe someone would be willing to learn something on their own.
>being this normie
