The Politics Test

[The Former DMiller]

The staple reading, writing, etc would still be in place. Though math will be taught to an 8th grade level and will only continue if the child wills it.

I really had to comment on this part since it bugged me the most as a math teacher. If you give a kid the choice to continue math or not at the age of 13 almost every kid is going to choose not to continue. I even hated math through most of school, but now I love every aspect of it. If the majority of our kids stop learning math at pre-algebra we would severely cripple quite a few industries in our country, especially high-tech jobs. Even lawyers have a little to learn from math as mathematical proofs in geometry is one of the first school subjects to directly teach logic.

Your whole idea, lazy, is based on the opinion that anyone can be a teacher, but it is a hell of a lot harder than you think. If every parent was a great teacher we wouldn't need public schools, but that just isn't the case. One-on-one tutoring is the best way to go for a child's education, but there is just no feasible way to do it for every child.
