An Education Reinvention Bill is Required Immediately in the United States

Changing America's attitude toward change is essential for building a stronger, more self-sufficient nation. The most significant issue facing America now is to modernize its outdated educational system in order to create a progressive and competitive society. Education must be the first and most important priority in every political government. American greatness can never be achieved, nor will we be able to relieve any of our other problems, until we have an effective and rejuvenated educational system in place.

Children have been taught the three R's-reading, writing, and arithmetic-since the dawn of time, and this has not changed. The twenty-first century, however, brings with it a duty to our children and the future of the United States: we must educate tomorrow's leaders and teach future generations the skills they will need to thrive in a world that is growing more difficult to live in.

The kids of today are not the same as the innocents of yore. Sadly, programs like Leave It To Beaver and Father Knows Best are no longer on the air. By flooding the airwaves with curse words that have never previously been heard on television, we have instead embraced the censors' lack of judgment when it comes to our children (and adults). It has become part of our children's lexicon, and school administrators are powerless to prevent it from happening because the media has dictated that freedom of speech, of any speech, is the accepted norm, and that everyone in the United States, regardless of age, has the right to express themselves. Many people wonder how it could possibly be harmful. It's something they hear on television every day. Our living room would be barred from accepting it if it was a poor fit. More graphic, verbal, and visual elements have been included in news broadcasts, allowing our youngsters to become more exposed to adult themes and subjects than ever before. As a result of our children being taught that their sexuality starts at a younger age and that it is an essential and exciting part of their life, our values have shifted for the worst.

Today, our children's rite of passage comes before their understanding of what is good and wrong. A result of the free and open education provided by computers and the Internet, our children are more intellectual, more worldly, and older than youngsters of comparable ages in previous generations. Due to the fact that we can't go back in time, despite the fact that many adults wish we could, we must treat our children like the young adults that they have been forced to grow into.

As a result, America's educational system must be completely redesigned. Tenure for teachers should be eliminated because it is an unjust incentive that is detrimental to the family and the consumer. Whenever an employee is not performing up to standard, that person should be closely watched and, if necessary, terminated. No contract, like the rest of America's workplace, should be for an indefinite period of time. This would ensure that students receive a high-quality education.

The legislation that allows students to drop out of school at the age of sixteen must be repealed in the United States. All children must attend school until they graduate; if not in public schools, they must attend vocational-technical schools to acquire a trade. The argument that a kid must go to work at the age of sixteen in order to help support their family does irreparable harm to the future of the youngster who is compelled to be the primary provider for his family. The ability to complete one's secondary education will break the cycle of poverty, and, as a result, crime and welfare will be significantly reduced.

It is necessary to extend the school day. America ranks bottom among first-world countries in terms of educational attainment. A school day should not be limited to (roughly) six hours in length, and there is no justification for this. Our school day will only be one hour longer if we increase lunch time by ten minutes (in order to prevent our children from wolfing down their food), and if we add another five minutes for passing to one additional class, and forty-five minutes for that class, our school day will only be one hour longer. If we did this, it would have a significant impact on the amount of education that our children get.

However, it is a trait that we must possess in order for our children to reach their full potential. In order to accomplish this objective, American schools must integrate new Life Studies courses into their current curricula in order to better prepare our students for the future in which they will soon be considered essential members. A Master of Science Degree should be given as a partial scholarship to previously qualified teachers in collaboration with the fifty state universities and state public education commissioners, as well as renowned educational psychologists and sociologists.

To remain a competitive force in the twenty-first century, American schools must offer these Life Study courses and keep their doors open an hour longer each day than they now do.

Working parents, particularly single mothers, would benefit from this Education Reinvention Bill because their children would be in school for an hour longer every day, resulting in them spending less money on day care and receiving a higher salary to support their family, resulting in more taxes being paid to the government on salaries and durable goods. This is a financial windfall that outweighs the tax rebate that has been lavished upon the middle class of the United States.

Courses in creative writing, confidence and self-esteem, manners and etiquette, ecology and the environment, safety, and the new 3R's (respect, responsibility, and reward) would be added to the yearly curriculum at the elementary school level; one course would be added to the yearly curriculum for each grade level.

Taking annual courses in money management, interpersonal relations, and social awareness would be compulsory for students at the intermediate level (which would include a cooperative commitment to volunteerism).

During each of their eight semesters of high school, students would take one course each in the following areas: career development; comparative cultures and religions; philosophy; ethics; and morals; analytical and deductive reasoning; persuasive speaking; colleges; and parenting.

When the first graduating class reaches mainstream America, the costs of training these teachers and establishing employment for them in every public school sector would be recovered. With mandatory student graduation, the cost of this new educational system will be offset by the money saved on law enforcement and a consistently reduced welfare system, as well as by the increased number of people employed and contributing to the economy by paying taxes and generating income in the United States of America.

The Education Reinvention Act is not only necessary for the prosperity of our students, but it is also necessary for the survival of our nation. There is much that America has to accomplish in order to change for the better and once again be a respected power on the globe today. Education reform is only one of the numerous strategies we may use to achieve this objective.

It also happens to be the most significant.
