"Every time I encounter someone in the workplace, I am reminded of just how much we have failed to properly educate United States citizens in the fundamentals of communication: reading, writing and speaking. Few would argue that the time is long overdue for the United States to "get back to the basics" of a fully functional education system. We need to exclusively focus on the development of communication skills from kindergarten to eighth grade along with annual testing that measures aptitude and interest. Training in mathematics should be limited to addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Unless communication skills are fully mastered, there is no need to advance to high school."
Our education system in the US is getting worse and worse and it most likely has to do with government control of education. Government has to make tax cuts and where tax cuts lead to worse schools. Or there are times when tax goes to other programs such as defense, protection, and entitlement programs. We can't blame the government for this as other programs are just as important.
However, what if we were to privatize schools BUT create an entitlement program for individuals and families with low incomes and resources? This would be similar to Medicaid (where I got the name Educaid) and it should still guarantee education to all children who cannot afford it while keeping schools under the better quality of private schools.
