The public education system is a Soviet-style socialist concept that has no place in a capitalist society.
The government’s only role would be anti-trust enforcement to avoid monopolies and ensure a competitive marketplace in the private education industry.
This is a root cause fix for all that ails the fundamentally flawed system we have.
Addresses school choice, unions protecting incompetent teachers, grooming, lack of incentives for good teachers, innovative educators, etc. Market drives teacher pay. Teachers may own stock in their school. Motivation for excellence.
Your title is misleading. It’s a Public INDOCTRINATION system, not education. Otherwise, totally agree. Government has no legitimate role in education. Period. We need separation of school and state.
Thank you for this! Scrolling through all these subjects, I’ve been surprised to see that almost every idea focuses on changing the content being taught without addressing the deeper, fundamental issues. Just swapping out one subject for another misses the point entirely. We’re still telling students what to learn, how to learn it, and imposing countless other lessons that shape them more than any content ever will. The real issue is the underlying structure of how we approach learning, not just the material itself.
This is the direction I believe we need to build within our own local community. The community has to understand the importance and responsibility we all have for the next generation. It shouldn’t fall on ‘teachers’ as a profession—especially when they’re trained by the government. I don’t agree with teaching being a profession because everyone is a teacher.
