I have been thinking about our education system lately. I know a better way to help the poor unfortunate souls that get bad grades, educate the children about the way the real world works, and leave no child behind.
What we will do is look at each child and their situation. We will give them bonus points to help them get a 'C' average. We know the grading system. 90-100 is an "A", less than 60 is an "F". What we need to do is make sure that every child meets the minimum standard of education.
One of the first phases of my plan is to institute a "Minimum grade" standard. For each class the student attends, he gets one point applied toward his grade, unless he is already making 76% or above.
Next, we must help the poor minded students by taxing the rich minded students. If a student is getting a 76% test score average, then he should his extra grades taxed. Since the student made better grades, he can afford to give some of his points to the more needy students.
Any student who doesn't meet the standard 75% will receive and "Earned Income Grade Break". It is unfair to the students that don't achieve 75% or higher have to suffer because of the greedy kids at school who take advantage of the needier students.
I know what you are thinking, this is "Scholastic Socialism". I assure you that it is not. It is merely the government helping the poor minded. It does not affect the middle class students, they can work just as hard and still receive the same grades as before. This is just instituting a more compassionate system, one that "leaves no child behind." Our aim is to make the richest students pay more. The more you have, the more you ought to give. We are building a bridge to the 22d century today. The future is now!
Also, students will be prohibited from talking about the myriad of failed socialist systems. We are thinking progressively, so the past no longer matters. Progressive thinking is allowed. Regressive thinking is not. The schools may place further restrictions on speech if abuse of free speech hurtful to others.
If necessary, congress may step in and further prohibit protests, unfair grade changing for the rich, and antisocial thinking..
The point system will be administered by the federal government.
