Every time I engage in a discussion with someone about the state of the U.S. education system, I always hear about the same things: the failure of the system, our low rankings compared to our industrialized peers, and how poorly we treat our teachers. Yet when I suggest we could look for a free market alternative, I always get the same reply:
"But who will edcucate our children?"Frankly, I don't think most people can conceptualize a free market alternative to our education system. They can probably imagine an older, white man with a monocle twirling his moustache on top of a pile of money while students at the bottom toil away at school, assuming they can afford it.While this is far from the case, I plan to show how the free market can help improve our education system by looking at our neighbors across the Pacific: South Korea.
that's well and fine but our private sector has never done anything that is beneficial to "we the people".
first are all the shortcutting and reduction of curriculum in the poorer neighborhoods the children won't be much better off they have a need to keep us dumb to enable them to do their dirt without oppositions from intelligent Blacks and Hispanics, they don't want to have to face another Barack Hussein Obama.
It's not news that South Korea is an academic powerhouse. According to OECD rankings, their students ranked first in math and reading and third in science. Compare this to the rankings of the U.S.: 14th in reading, 25th in math, and 17th in the sciences. Ninety-three percent of all Korean students graduate, as opposed to the United States' 75%.But what is amazing isn't the achievement itself, but how it was achieved.The Wall Street Journal released an article highlighting an integral part of South Korean education system. In South Korea, there is a shadow education system that compliments a student's primary education. This shadow system operates as a private, after-school tutoring service. And it operates very much like how a free market system would allow a company to operate: compete to provide the highest quality of goods and services to the most amount of people at the lowest possible price. This philosophy would tremendously benefit the students, parents, and teachers.Students would choose their own tutors and provide feedback. They have a personal stake and investment in the program. Research has shown that feedback about a teacher can be a reliable assessment of a teacher's performance. Furthermore, the South Korean system engages the parents by updating them on their child's academic progress. This exponentially increases the student's academic progress, given the research that shows that better parent involvement leads to better educational outcomes.
when the republicans talk about freedom and free market it's a not for the everyday person that is a right wing club for members only. they would not allow the freedoms described above it would be relinquishing control a no no, keepin their eyes on the money is job one and that my friends is why this plan if adopted would be bent so far out of shape it would not be applicable as intended.
