The environment in which education takes place must be set up to enhance the learning process. Schools must set up a strong structure in which learning can easily occur. Included in this structure is the need for firm, fair and consistent discipline. A strong focus on the function of the school and students' roles and responsibilities will eliminate distractions and assure all students actively participate in their own education. Education of children cannot be isolated to the classroom.
Parents are the strongest influences in a child's life.
They should be utilized whenever possible to develop relative and more meaningful learning experiences. Partnerships should be established so that parents are more directly and actively involved in the learning process and not relegated to fundraising and volunteer efforts. Mediocrity breeds stagnation which ultimately can lead to failure. Students must constantly and consistently be exposed to academic rigor. Goals and objectives must be set in which achievement is possible but only with hard work.
