Affordable Education?

1) Kids go to school to learn, not play games. Self-defense training
after phys-ed every day should be the sum-whole of 'sports-programs.'
Join a private-club and pay dues if you want your kid to play games.

2) Administrators still haven't figured-out how to teach a kid how to
read and write? Obviously, that entire 'credentialing-system' has
totally invalidated itself. We need teachers teaching, not
administrators talking about 'how to teach.'

3) Automated-lectures at automated-desks; learn-as-you-go; half an
'account' of days-off, for religious or personal reasons, use as-needed,
all at once, or whenever your freedom-for-religious-expression desires,
to flex-time learning for kids for their flex-time parents' jobs. We
pay teachers annual-salaries, to teach kids. That's where they should
be every day, just like everybody else.

==========================================

That's applicable from pre-school, upward, not just K-thru-12, but K-28 as far as I'm concerned.

Need time-off for personal reasons or financial reasons or whatever? Getting married at 16, perhaps? Whatever -- flex-time it. Learn-as-you-go -- go back at age 88 and continue it -- whatever. You should be allowed to enter any public-ed facility and pick-up where you left-off wherever you are, continuing toward whatever 'next-diploma' you are working towards, preschool through doctoral-level at PUBLIC HumanityFamilyNurtureCenters, if it were up to me, but Public Schools, in any case.

Kind Regards,
