Education Reform

Post by Martin Hash » Tue Nov 17, 2015 2:19 pm

Though it gets lost in all the teacher rah-rah, here are some reforms that need to be made to American education:
1. Integrate all forms of learning: didactic (traditional), Home School, special ed, self-paced online, parochial, Charter, Montessori, Kaplan, etc.
2. Determine which kind is appropriate for each student, and let them try. If they are successful, leave them. If not, try something else.
3. Assign a cost to each kind of education, not a cost per student, and voucher it.
4. Think big: videogames, immersion technology, A.I. assisted, Social Media apps.

The "teacher problem" becomes immaterial.
