AND FINALLY, if you could make up ONE new law and have it enforced FOREVER, by goons, what would your law be? Use your imagination, let your despotic instincts run free.
Act to remove public schooling, create 'Parent/teacher' demographic so that parents can stay at home to raise and teach children through government funded programs for materials and living expenses. Child shall be evaluated by a series of tests every 3 years, if child fails tests the parents will be audited the past 3 years of government income. The tests and the schooling will have more to do with both practical knowledge, such as conversation skills, understanding business, working in groups or leading one, and also emotional and moral intelligences.
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. Other important facets of the new education scheme would include world histories in detail. If properly done, the result would be an adult (by age 25) who will carry all known knowledge to atleast a factoring degree to apply it in daily routine and general life. These 'super educated' people would in turn evolve the parent/teacher demographic until it becomes a fluid process of which all parents expect and look forward to when thinking about raising a child.
The required amount of time per day is a total of 3 hours, how and when that is used is up to the parents. Social activity, to include seeing movies, shopping as well as museums and the like would also be a part of the schooling for the child - we dont super educated hermits after all. In this process as well, a type of dating for the child with opposite sexes will be a routine. 'hooking up' is completely up to the child of which the parents take no part in, however it will be encouraged, sexual education as well as 'sex-play' has a major role, including, but not limited to 'hiding sex' from children, discouraging masturbation or sex-play and important factors at the earliest age such as 'hiding' the bathroom or the act itselves.
This new societal paradigm will seem outragous at first and will cause a violent reaction among many walks of people, however the benefits of the process will be seen immeadiately. On a final note, punishment will be given only by parents until the age of 25 at which point national, state and city wide law inforcement will enforce their laws upon them. The types of punishment will exclude physical harm such as spanking or removing treats or hobbies, the punishment will be that the child will be 'exiled' and will have to write out exactly what he or she did that was percieved as wrong, upon presentation it will be handled like a round-table debate in group therapy with such things as 'whoever is holding the paper weight gets to talk and everyone must listen'.
To this end, the child will advance emotionally on a previously unheard of rate while strengthening morality and comprehension skills. Most ideals of child rearing hold true, getting the puppy will remain a staple but reward systems ("You get ice cream when we like you") will be far removed.
