Our Model School

​

• Curriculum  promotes reading, writing, and math skills, plus history, civics, geography, and science.  

​​

• Transparency in hiring and evaluation practices.
  - Teachers are hired for a demonstrated ability to teach.

​​

• Cameras to monitor teacher and student performance.

  • ​Everyone behaves better when they know they're being filmed.  Just walk into any government office or bank.

​

• Discipline is swift and effective.

  • The cameras will be used to pinpoint issues and remove troubled or ​deliberately provocative students.  This can be achieved without any loss of educational flow in the classroom because the teacher will not be involved in the moment.  A dean of discipline will oversee this program and process. Morale in school will increase dramatically when those who earnestly wish to teach and learn are not hampered by those who do not.  Students who prove consistently that they cannot learn in a traditional environment will receive their education in a solo environment until they can "get with the program".

​​

• Student placements recognize ability and motivational levels.​Social/emotional development is fostered with different  groupings for non-core classes, meal times, and recess.

​​

• Testing makes sense.
  - Current testing is more about a student's ability to navigate the online system and the convoluted way questions are asked than about basic curriculum.
