Phase out Phase Six

The no child left behind act was intended to fund and test schools that could succeed and those that just couldn't get it done. 

 

Now after 5 years there are a large number of public schools who have hit the wall.  They have tested, they have tried, they have tutored and they have tilted off the wall.

 

They have failed.  Once a school gets to this point it is called being in Phase 6.  That is the 6th year of a 5 year program. 

 

I don't think the education dept thought this would happen.  It did.  So, now what to do.

 

I want to send a message to my President.  If a school hits phase 6:  Do not listen to the whine of the administrators.  Do not hear the pitch of the teachers.

They had 5 years.  Now let someone else work on it.

 

If you worked in the private sector and had 5 years to reach certain objectives with your corporate workforce as a manager and you didn't they would fire you.

 

So, here's what to do.  Phase out schools that didn't make it.  Be ruthless.  Don't back down.  Make it painful. 

 

I promise you won't have to close very many before the message is loud and clear.  I'll bet results will come then.

 

Abolish public education.  Let vouchers reign.
