Children/Disabled issues
The government should not fund universal pre school.
I am against colleges removing studies of ‘dead white males’ from course of Western history and similar studies
I support some slight decentralization of education. I am ok with opt outs on testing and reimagining the Boards of Regents
I support expanded work based learning systems for high school students so they are prepared for life after high school/college/grad school and since it adds more work for them in school sort of making up for them being deprived of working more hours in school. I am also open to a K-10 model reducing the span of school to get young people ready to work
We need nuanced ideas to help teachers do their jobs without worrying about the left firing them for not towing the line. To do this, we must focus on restorative justice and building community relations
We must help students thrive in school. To do so we must increase funding for vocational training, socio emotional learning. This would include, trauma support, change adjustment, loss, economic vulnerability and similar hinderances to their success.
To address holes in our graduation rates where they exist, we need to find and apply new pathways to keep students and young people engaged while as mentioned above preparing them for the future. We must use philosophy over money to achieve this. New ideas to do these things is a must.
There is a value in school choice. We need a nuanced approach along with promoting collaboration between charter (private) and public schools, so different school systems can learn about what is working and implement some of those alternative models that are attracting and catering to various types of students in our communities.
School choice should not be viewed as a financial thing but instead promote public schools collaborating with award winning charter (private) schools on their school models that resonate with young people which bridges gaps, inspires and lights a fire under modern day students
Private (charter) schools are good too because they can meet unique student needs in a relevant way including resource classes, electives and gamified learning etc etc.
So I support school choice and am fine with charter/private schools (since I wanted it when I moved to my new town 1997 but couldn't get a voucher).
I support homeschooling
I believe homework should always be required for students in schools. I want homework to continue to be a part of schooling forever. In fact, kids should get more homework than they do now (old school like)
I believe students who disrespect their teachers should be suspended and if they don't want to come back to school then let their post suspension volunteer abscence be decriminalized. I believe that disrespectful students should be suspended. Suspending disrespectful students is the best thing for them and is a time honored method to correctify their behavior.
I believe that the Tuttle Twin books should be taught in schools and in school libraries throughout the US and Canada
I believe we should defund Academia. To quote Samuel Clemens "I'd rather entrust the government of the United States to the first two thousand people listed in the Boston phone book than to the faculty of Harvard University"
I support Wilderness Therapy being used for behavior modification for kids, teens and even adults.
I only support the type of child 'labor' (ie home enterprise labor for children) that is in this link https://www.flickr.com/photos/56434318@N05/6620143751 (as long as its voluntary) for children around 6 and up and only if the children get paid more than adults (ideally some of said income would be put into their savings accounts until they are 18 or set aside to pay for their tuition for college)
I would also support the type of child labor that was seen at jobs like the factories and mills of Appalachia/Carolinas in the mid to late 1900s (decade) ONLY if i had proof that all of the child workers who would do those jobs had at least one past life where they lived to at least 21. Otherwise I will continue to be apolitical to firmly against child labor like that and all other types of child labor (except the 1912 home enterprise labor mentioned above)
Laws
I support Judeo Christian school students and teachers having prayer meetings after school in the parking lot (like what my former high school does) though we need to find a way to make Judeo Christian school prayer in public schools without fear of the FRFF (like Kentucky got chastied for years back)
I believe the national driving age in the US should be lowered to 14 or 15
Child values
I believe kids should be respectful to their parents, teachers and adults. People should ways be polite and not lie unless in very rare cases (ie the very rare cases that God would be fine with person lying)
I believe children who misbehave should be spanked and punished (time outs).
I am against the 'Everybody gets a trophy culture' It make it hard for kids who become adults to deal with adversity
All kids should read the Tuttle Twins books since those books teach great lessons for kids.
Disabled
I am conservative on Terri's Law
We need to fix our mental heath crises in this country. Mental health has to be taken more seriously by the voters, government and UN. Joe Biden should be commended for moving us in that direction
