Education Strategy
Create a US Meritocracy
based upon Drive, Team, Character, Education for All and not just Academics.
IQ: measures verbal comprehension, perceptional reasoning,
working memory, and processing speed. It is applicable to, at most, top quintile careers.

1. Setting 2 Strategic Goals, a Fedelist Approach

2. Community, Parents, and Students Choose and Prioritize Goals

3. Special Intelligence allows Individualized Curriculums

4. Tech-based education leads to US Meritocracy

 
 

Goal 1. Fifty State Laboratories of Education
Justice Louis D. Brandeis Took a Federalist Approach to Education

"It is one of the happy incidents of the federal system
that a single courageous state may, if its citizens choose,
serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments
without risk to the rest of the country

FEDs Must Give Up Control of Education Funds2

Goal 2. Maximize a Student's Special Intelligence,
 that which they do well. i.e. arts, sports, mechanical, verbal-math IQ ...

 

 

Choosing a Degree of Difficulty   Walter
Success encourages teachers and students.
Education should be directed toward finding a student's special intelligence.
Education can then be designed to maximize this special intelligence.
Forcing average into above average seldom leads to success.
Choosing to Max Max
1 for average IQ students leads to debt and under employment.

"Fifty-two percent of graduates with a terminal bachelor’s degree
are underemployed one year after completing;
10 years after completing, 45 percent are underemployed."

Think using the Brandeis Laboratories of democracy approach to education..

Federal Laws Have Unintended Consequences2

1962 President John F. Kennedy Executive Order 10988
led to state laws permitting
the unionization of public employees

1969 The Supreme Court,
in 
Tinker v. Des Moines
Independent Community School District
,
ruled that the Constitution forbids local schools from
suspending students who bring political protest inside the schools.

In dissent Justice Black wrote:

In 1975 Goss v. Lopez, the Court ruled
 in the case of a suspended student,
 a hearing was required.


FEDs Must Give Up Control of Funds


Think of applying the
Brandeis Laboratories of democracy
 approach to education.
