Sgt. Snuggles On Education
Like reading, education is fundamental. We have to refocus and redefine Public Schools in America. Instead of having a Superintendent who alone is responsible for making education decisions, every school district will be made up of a community board. This community board will consist of parents, students, and community leaders, who along with the chancellor determine all educational policies.
Our first step in refocusing education is to repair our collaterally damaged curriculum. For too long we have been teaching our kids about dead white men, war, and theorized democratic values. I say curriculum should be defined by the communities that the learning is geared for. So the new focus will be on the concerns and values of the communities that schools are built in and the students who attend them.
Public education has to be redefined. I propose that we eliminate all grade levels and replace them with task specific badges that students can wear proudly. Not only does this help boost self esteem and motivation but it also serves as a pre-emptive strike. See with these badges, you don’t have to worry about people bothering you and asking you what grade you are in. I bet everyone can relate to this experience especially ladies. Well with these badges there is no need to ask, because they would already know what rank you are just by looking at you.
We are also going to revitalize Physical Education. We must stamp out obesity. To accomplish this, gym periods will not only consist of sports and health, but the art of the pop-lock will also be instituted. Our students will have the flexibility to fold into a cardboard box, and the muscle structure to allow them to hold a pose for no less than 20 minutes.
Home Economics will be reestablished in all schools. This will be done to ensure that every American Citizen has the ability to make a tasty Taco.
Finally, all students will be required to pass through a rigorous Clowning Class. In these classes, students will learn the history and methods of Clowning. By attending this class, students can ensure lifelong employment. If they are unable to find a job for any reason they could always put in an application for the Traveling Clown Show.
