Walter A. Reid
I
have devised a plan that may help improve the quality of education of
urban public schools. This plan will offer competition to charter, private
and perhaps voucher schools, and will halt or slow down the outflow of our
better parental managed students.
The
public school teachers are dedicated hard workers however, they now find
themselves in a pickle. This
is because some students lack motivation and don't like school. The teachers are faced with
student apathy, absenteeism and parental neglect. The neglected children should have
an assisted living facility, but that is another matter. Yet the teacher is often blamed, by
conservative groups who feel they have the answers. Therefore, the teachers now have
the responsibility to indoctrinate our children in a system that may give
them the incentive to remain in school. This regimental training will give
our children a chance at life.
This will then increase the property value and outlook about the
community. The public school
teacher must recognize the importance of competitiveness and organization
in our public schools in order to compete with charter, private and
perhaps voucher schools.
I
believe school should start 8:00 am and close at 5:00 pm. from grades 1
through 9.
Teachers who do not teach Math, English and Science should
arrive at 8:00 am and remain until 3:00 pm. The Math, English and Science
teachers should start 10:00 am and remain until 5:00 pm.
The
students will stay until 5:00 pm.
From 4:00 pm until 5:00 pm the students are to remain to do Math,
English and Science homework daily with the Math, English and Science
teachers present. If a
student should encounter any difficulty, this would be the teacher’s
responsibility.
By
obtaining a note from the parent the student could remain after 5:00 pm to
5:30 for a snack.
Reasons listed below are:
1)
Study after study found students learn better
with a later start time.
2)
The children are often neglected in their own
environment. No reading
material is in some homes nor parental guidance
given.
3)
The additional two hours will slow down gang
recruitment.
4)
A snack is given, in case the child has nothing
to eat at home.
5)
My plan may probably cut down on our prison
population our tax dollars are paying for.
Today’s climate of austerity is forcing us to grapple with
the reality, and a good deal of our current education spending is ill
directed. Teachers will
always be the key to unlocking student’s imaginations. As an example Algebra is a
gatekeeper course for some of us. Failure to master the subject
means exclusion from advanced mathematics and reducing chances of
admission to a selective college. We can no longer afford not to emphasize
the importance of our children contributing to our
country.
You
as a teacher are our leaders, and will be long remembered by children into
adulthood thru your unselfishness and generosity towards them. If it were
not for teachers in public education, we would not be able to express
ourselves, as I have.
