Summary:
Because more than a hundred million
parents have limited education, we must provide universal, totally free
educational head start, preschool and daycare, repeat, educational,
not storage. We must provide the earliest skills
which privileged children
often (but not always) acquire at home at early ages.
Between a third and half of
all children in America have at least one parent whose native language is not English.
Nationwide, under the long, very experienced and
qualified (as they would have you believe)
leadership of all the other candidates for
President, more than half
of minority students, and more than 30%
of all American children, do not complete high
school. That is not leadership, that is the
total, abject destruction of America by all 17
Presidential candidates who failed to lead
during all of their careers.
The majority of
children in our schools are minorities, and this
percentage increases every year, so that soon
most students will be minorities. In a few years
more than half of all students will not complete
high school, in a new millennium where science
and technology are everything.
America is truly
doomed unless we completely scrap the unfixable
educational system and totally reinvent our
schools.
Frank Lynch wants to provide year round
school with free daycare, teaching useful subjects for every child
in America. Schools will be open 238 days a year, the same number of
days that mothers work. Most mothers work! Many more would like to
work, at least part time. And the majority of children today live in
single parent homes.
Mothers can drop
off their children between 7:30 and 8:30 AM for
free nutritious breakfast for every child, and
pick them up between 5 PM and 6:30 PM, with no
extra costs, and with no worry about where their
children are and what they are doing. Nutritious
snacks and lunches are free for all. Teachers
eat at assigned student tables. Required classes
end at 5 PM, but optional enrichment classes,
music, arts, exercise and sports continue until
6:30 PM. Schools are single gender, with free
uniforms and no "secret message" jewelry. What a
revolution. What freedom. What equality. What a
wonderful nation we can have, if you join me.
All children will
learn American History and English, and all
tests are in English. Truant officers make sure
nobody drops out. Tests on the internet are
graded by central computer so there is no
"social" advancement cheating that graduates
children who cannot read.
Nationwide tests
are given every week in every subject, so the
results are used as a teaching method, and
difficulties are identified each week, instead
of years later when remedial teaching is too
late, as happens with current NCLB tests years
apart, when it is too late to help a child.
