Should the Department of Education be dismantled?

 Standardized curriculum, standardized testing, standardized agencies empowered what text books to published, what curriculum to teach, in what location, in what manner to deliver the teaching and the evaluation of the learners, the teachers, and the governing authorities & staff are the core parts of the system where corruption emerges and why politicization of the education of all children in the whole country happens. The children are taught in the same manner the assembly line started during the Industrial Revolution.  

Privatizing education will allow competition among and between school systems that arise in a free, decentralized educational system. Competition will open the opportunities for young people to get into the education system where they will be hired not according to their political affiliation, the color of their skin and their social status. They will be hired according to their ability, skill to teach, in short based on their merit.  Meritorious qualifying of the work force will determine the success of a system that provides the opportunity for ALL AMERICANS not just for a few favored ones to participate in their school system. 

The role of the government, if ever allowed to participate, is one to encourage competition. The satisfaction the system will provide is in the form of getting recognized as a model to others private school systems to emulate, between states, between districts and counties, and between schools in each municipality.  The Government can help provide intensive quality training of teachers nationwide.  The teaching profession should be licensed as a professional part of the work force comparable to other professions like the lawyers, doctors, accountants, and specialized personnel to improve the system.  They, the teachers, can serve as individuals serving in their capacity as a mentor and teachers paid by a group of parents who can pay them the salary they asked for their service which can be directly evaluated by hiring companies, by the students tangible show of increased knowledge and skills.  

I am looking for a future when corporations who benefitted from the force they hired as the best trained and graduates of the private school system be MANDATED TO SHARE IN FUNDING THE SCHOOL THAT GIVE THEM THE BEST GRADUATES WHO HELP THEM TO INCREASE their productivity and profits.  

Funding education should not only comes from parents who can afford to pay for their children’s education but 25% to 50% of their funding should come from all corporations that garner the most qualified graduates from the school.  The tangible result of a qualified workforce is the companies leadership by being the most profitable companies  in the ownership shared by the public.  

The government should help public’s increase participation and support for the private education to succeed.  Success is determined by many factors. Foremost is the quality of the school graduates, the strength of the teacher-mentor programs, teachers satisfaction in their jobs and the high salary levels they receive for keeping their school top of the crops and foremost, delivering successful graduates for the nation’s workforce.   Cultural enrichment should also be conducted privately, this time, with government funding, music education, history of civilization, philosophy, and avocation.   

Smart and quality journals can be published and distributed to all the communities by their own local private schools and private agencies for cultural enrichment.

We are now ready.  The internet is getting developed to allow these processes to happen. 

I can go on and on. What I am saying here are the insights from having the experience as a teacher and educational evaluator in our centralized public school system all my working days.  From my experience I strongly believe that the public school system must be dismantled.  I sent you some of my personal experiences in the system that made me think why centralized public schools as it is today must be dismantled.

It is time to change the system that has been educating our children for the last 100 years. The great divide we have now is the result of this system that works against uniting us amiably.
