But children learn differently and have different interests and aptitudes. Unfortunately, our politicized education system gives us products, services, and methods that are developed by a command control bureaucracy. Freedom, Ownership, and Leadership Leadership is the key to a good school. Leadership in the classroom, in the principal's office, and at home. Real leadership and personal responsibility ultimately depend on freedom and ownership.
Ownership leads to accountability for success and failure where people are free to make choices.
We need to ask how we can make that ownership possible. Let's do what Lincoln did for the development of the West. He let the taxpayers be true owners of the public lands. Some may try to sidestep this and say that the taxpayers are the owners of the local public education system. They are not the owners.
