I agree with Newt Gingrich's education policy only, hope Paul's could be better
REally? So education costs should soar ever more? He always ignores the debt, spiraling cost part of it.... the economics. He has big ideas, but no way to fund them and this nations problem is not lack of PROMISES.

SO how is Ron's policy on education better, at least have the DOE collect and research data.
His education plan is bullshit too.Originally Posted by tommy949
Here's what they should do:
1. Eliminate government involvement from education
2. Allow private companies to take over education
3. Private companies should make most classes online, which would dramatically reduce costs
4. Competition would increase value as well. Instead of spending 20 years in school to get one degree, you could graduate by the time you are 15 with 3-4 majors.
5. Also, eliminate monopolies on professions that make these bullshit educational requirement to join their profession. All they do is destroy our educational system and force kids to go to school the whole life.
why would we want more bureaucracy? We want local control of schools because that is how education is better. We had no DOE until the late 70s and education has cratered since then.

Similar to ObamaCare. We would be offering our very health, and existence, to the state.
Why would people want the same with their education?
"For if you [the rulers] suffer your people to be ill-educated, and their manners to be corrupted from their infancy, and then punish them for those crimes to which their first education disposed them, what else is to be concluded from this, but that you first make thieves [and outlaws] and then punish them."
-Sir Thomas More (1478-1535), Utopia, Book 1

You make it sound like it's easy to do but I would say that's the most dramatic change I have seen
Everyone who was around before the late 70s HAS seen it, and remembers when our schools were the envy of the world. (except Japan)

It's like a crackhead asking for money, and saying "Well, I'm sure this time he won't just spend it on crack"...
The kids they dance and shake their bones,
While the politicians are throwing stones,
And it's all too clear we're on our own,
Singing ashes, ashes, all fall down...
Well somebody should research and collect data. I want less bureaucracy too but how do we deal with the lazy teachers with tenure and change schools into a more exciting place to learn?
