Donald Trump on Education
Teach citizenship; stop “dumbing down”
Our schools aren’t safe. On top of that, our kids aren’t learning. Too many are dropping out of school and into the street life-and too many of those who do graduate are getting diplomas that have been devalued into “certificates of attendance” by a dumbed-down curriculum that asks little of teachers and less of students. Schools are crime-ridden and they don’t teach.
How long do we think the U.S. can survive schools that pretend to teach while our kids pretend to learn? How can a kid hope to build an American Dream when he hasn’t been taught how to spell the word “dream”?
Public education was never meant to only teach the three R’s, history, and science. It was also meant to teach citizenship. At the lower levels it should cover the basics, help students develop study habits, and prepare those who desire higher education for the tough road ahead. It’s a mandate the public schools have delivered on since their inception. Until now.
End “creative spelling,” “estimating,” & “empowerment”
The people running our public schools don’t want to damage a student’s self-esteem. They’re concerned about “empowerment.” They’re worried kids will feel bad if they get a problem wrong or flunk a spelling test. It’s better to pat a kid on the head and praise his “creative spelling” than point out that there is a traditional name for people with poor spelling skills. We call them illiterates.
Some educators think being “judgmental” is the worst of all sins. The problem is that life tends to judge-and harshly at that. There’s no room for error when you’re launching the space shuttle. Or mixing the concrete for the foundation of Trump Tower, for that matter. Try giving a number “in the neighborhood of” on your tax returns and you may end up in a place where there’s a very definite number stamped on the back of your shirt.

I take it you disagree with Trump on schools. What do you prefer, private schools, madrassas, what?
In my town teachers get "tenured" in three years - they should change the term to "threeured". And they want to be paid like doctors! I like what I see from Trump about schools.
Can I Nixon !!!!
I would love to see a few more faked moon landings !!

My daughter teaches in NC..she was tenured in four years...she studied in Ohio, there tenure is ten years...one thing I can say is a fact, my daughter is not overpaid...and her salary is about the same as a starting rate office manager with a high school education...By the way, my daughter has a Masters in Education, don't know if she will ever get her student loans paid off.....
