time in history for students and the educational curriculum.
Teachers should be well paid.
The number of teachers should be increased dramatically.
Class sizes should be kept under 20 per teacher. (preschool ratio 1 teacher for every 3 students)
Child care should be free for all working mothers. (stay at home moms should also have access to free child care on a limited basis)
Preschool should be free for all children.
Children should be encouraged to use their creativity.
Classes should be taught indoors and outdoors.
The Internet and video games offer powerful learning tools. (Spanning from cartoons to detailed instructional videos) with everything under the sun between the two.
There should be frequent field trips to science museums, historical museums, art galleries, manufacturing facilities, colleges, farms, zoos, etc. (Distance would have to be taken into consideration)
The children should have input on these decisions. Example; The Rock n Roll Hall of Fame would be an acceptable field trip.
Rural children should be introduced to the cities.
Children who live in the cities should be introduced to the rural areas.
There is a stark difference between rural and city life.
There should be no fees or extra costs in public schools.
Everyone is covered, everything that is needed is supplied to all.
Public schools should have the same standards regardless of location or neighborhoods.
Funds should be allocated equally.
Teachers should be well paid !!!
That's my vision for educational system.
I know, it's a pipe dream.
