WE THE PEOPLE
Education
As your Congresswoman, I will emphatically pursue a return to stronger educational policies founded upon pure American principals, which will equip children with the ability to maximize their potentials.The National Education Association (NEA) has massive control and strongly supports the Democratic Caucus. As long as tax payer dollars run schools, We The People should have input into what is being written in the textbooks. This organization needs oversight on production of curriculum with cross-country bids every five years. Reading, writing, and arithmetic, must once again come to the forefront in standards of education, enabling our children to propel into the unknown future with the most advantageous preparation.
Additionally, early education advocates have created massive programs that are of questionable necessity and come at the expense of taxpayers’ hard-earned dollars and parental freedoms. Children will face the fact of schooling all too soon. Early education shows no advantage over the normal beginning time for Kindergarten and likewise, requires taxpayer dollars essentially to run a government provided daycare.
"There is simply no evidence that universal preschool will benefit children," said Darcy Ann Olson, a child-care expert at the Cato Institute. "In fact, many child development experts have argued that formal schooling can actually be harmful to young children." Research shows that many pre-school children aren’t psychologically ready to enter into a competitive environment”, and if they fail there, she said, “it may damage their self-esteem, which may produce further psychological and developmental problems later”.
Local homeschoolers involved in a co-op, learn from homeschool mother/teacher, Melissa Willis, about the many different jobs that are available in America. Parents should have the freedom to choose the best form of education for their children. These rights must be protected.
