New Education Systems

New Education Plan Part 1. I.Restructure the education system. a.Replace elementary, middle, and high school with Primary(1-6), secondary(7-9), and tertiary(10-12) i.Primary 1.basic math 2.Reading and how to write 3.Scientific problem solving(not necessarily biology or chemistry, but a combination of it all to teach problem solving skills) 4.Basic Social Studies (teaches government, population, etc.) ii.Secondary 1.Teaches math with the purpose of problem solving and analyzing 2.Teaches reading with the purpose of analysis. This will emphasize modern text and non fiction. The goal of this reading is to prepare for real life. It will also teach persuasive and expository writing extensively. Students will be expected to write at least one essay in English per week. 3.Teaches Biology and Human anatomy 4.Teaches history with the purpose of analysis. Will include multiple projects involving receiving a problem regarding government, economy, etc. and the student has to come up with a plan(somewhat to what we are doing with the debate) to solve the problem and they need to defend their plan. 5.Gives students a personality test that will put them in several electives over the years so that the student may find what specifically interests them for when they decide on pathways for the tertiary level. iii.Tertiary 1.Math will only be required for one year. Math will be statistics and problem solving. 2.English-Will be required all three years. One year will teach reading(primarily nonfiction and research but with some fiction thrown in), one year will teach writing(one semester persuasive and another expository), one year will teach speaking. These years can be taken in any order or a student can choose to take two or three in one year. 3.Science will be completely optional 4.History-Extensive studies into economics, government, US, and World history. Will include much problem solving and utilization of evidence. Students at this level will be expected to form opinions on certain topics(this will help encourage participation in government). 5.There will be many pathways for students to choose. These pathways will be taught at college level so that the students have the chance to get college credit for their pathways. Example a.A student can choose a psychology pathway. There will be classes that involve behaviorism, sociology, psychological medicines, psychotherapy, etc. Some of these courses will require that other classes also be taken as a prerequisite but the majority will be mutually exclusive. b.A student can choose a business pathway which will offer classes such as marketing, accounting, risk management, etc. Now, if a student chooses risk management, he can choose to take another class like entrepreneurial ventures his second year of tertiary school. II.Part 2 a.Part one is the hard part, but part two is basically referring to additional options. i.A student can choose to dual enroll through tertiary education ii.A student can choose to skip his senior year and start college if his or her grades are good enough. iii.A student can lump any classes together and take them in any order. In other words, a student can take three years of English in one year and save his year of math for his last year. iv.A student can choose work based learning. v.A student can choose to go to another school either entirely or for one or two periods if a class he wants to take is offered at another school that is not offered at his current school. vi.A student can choose to switch schools if his school does not meet a certain education level(as determined by the state). III.Part 3 a.This involves Extracurricular activities i. Sports and clubs are only permitted if the student takes at least one advanced class and maintains A"s and B"s. ii.If the student does not meet this criteria but still wants to participate, after school or weekend tutoring will be assigned and the student"s tutor can write a note stating that the student is putting up appropriate effort and should be allowed to participate. The principal or top academic counselor still gets final say in the matter though. IV.Part 4 a.This is how schools will be examined i.A state education supervisor will go to each school for a surprise visit four times per year. 1.All schools should meet a cleanliness requirement 2.All schools should meet a grade average requirement(as determined by the nation) 3.Student participants in after school activities will be examined to ensure adequate intelligence to participate ii.If a school fails one of these, the schools administrators will be put on one year suspension and replaced iii.If a school fails two of these, the school"s entire faculty will be fired and will be forced to reapply after a thorough examination of their teaching history I'm pretty sure that is all.
