Grades 1-6 should teach:
1. That there is a creator God,
2. How to read,
3. How ro write
4. How to do arithmetic
5. American History
6. How to be a good American
7. How capitalism works
8. How to stay out of debt
9. God has the best plan for their lives
Grades 7-9 should be spent on world studies (geography and history), business math and general science with emphasis on teaching students how to do basic things like:
1. Start and complete a short task with quality as expeditiously as possible.
2. Start and complete a medium size task with quality as expeditiously as possible.
3. Start and complete a long task with quality as expeditiously as possible.
This period will serve to condition the student to focus, self-criticize and be productive which will serve them regardless of their future careers.
At end of grade 9 test kid's aptitude. Show test results to parents with recommendation to academic or application tracks.
Grades 10-12 should involve accelerated math and science curriculum for academics and intensive trade-related training for application students.
Make the academic track challenging enough to prepare the student for 'serious' college even to the point of failing students whose parents reject the realities of their child's aptitude.
Make the application track involve periods of working in trade areas as an apprentice.
Supplement the application track with lectures from entrepreneurs who have been successful in their trades.
This plan would
1. Serve Anerica because it would generate good Americans who are prepared to be a part of our system.
2. Serve parents by preparing their child to be successful in life. It would save them thousands of dollars on failed launches.
3. Serve the application student by not exposing them to inevitable failure in a rigid academic curriculum, by preparing them to be productive in a trade and possibly very successful as entrepreneurs.
4. Serve the academic student by preparing them for college entrance examinations and for the rigors of higher education.
