Make America’s Schools Great Again

On the night of the Republican National Committee’s convention, Annette Albright, a woman few people have heard of before tonight ( myself included ), took the stage and connected two dots that not enough Americans are connecting: the criminal justice system and public schools. Last year was my first year in a Title I tuition-free contract school in Tampa, Florida, and I saw and endured items that were likewise horrible and natural. We must begin with our institutions if you want to see reform of the criminal justice system in our nation.

The Obama-Biden leadership exerted pressure on public schools to significantly reduce the number of suspensions and evictions, particularly those involving students of color and those with disabilities. As a result, harmful kids remained in the classroom and quickly realized that they would not be held accountable for their actions in any way. Additionally, their peers were inspired and/or given the opportunity to work out in response to the behaviour being excused. Ten years later, the effects of this strategy are felt by incompetent individuals and officials who were destined to fail.

Starting in 2018, the Trump presidency reversed many of these Obama-era laws. However, the Biden administration appears to be willing to reimplement them and possibly even get farther. Catherine Lhamon was nominated by President Biden to lead the [Office of Civil Rights ], the exact place she held while serving under the Obama administration, where she spearheaded the effort to incorporate the federal government into national government policy. In her second career in the position, Lordel has stated her intentions, stating,” I’m deeply concerned about the kinds of discrimination that may be allowed to spread without there being an effective and important civil rights backstop.” -RealClearEducation, October 18, 2021

Nobody wants their children to be suspended or expelled from school, not even hard-working parents who lack the time and freedom to spend with their children while they serve their sentences. Teachers do n’t want their students to miss classes because it puts them in danger of being behind on a curriculum that is already demanding. Because butts in seats equal budgets, administrators do n’t want students to miss school. Only the offenders who return home to play video games or sleeping all day and the students who perceive the behavior as a threat are those who want those kids expelled. &nbsp,

*Teachers want students to succeed, but we do n’t have the power to stop a class of 34 students in a 60-minute session to address constant disruptions, so there is a sense of relief when the culprit for the behavior issues is absent.

A scholar transferred into our institution soon after classes resumed in 2024, and I quickly learned that this pupil had been in and out of this school numerous times since their first elementary years. One of my colleagues picked up the entire class’s mobile phones, gave them to me, and we decided to keep them until lunchtime. This student yelled like a banshee as they threw a desk over their heads and onto the floor during English Language Arts class because they did n’t have their phone. That was n’t enough, so the student punched a tablet and cracked the screen before walking out of my classroom. The kids and staff every knew about this child’s “anger problems”, but nothing was done to control the negative behavior. Exceedingly bad habits with no outcomes? Discouraging but hardly shocking. &nbsp,

That was just one student in a single position, in one university. I broke up an inappropriate physical situation between a boy and a girl the following hour; he was so embarrassed that he ( a minor ) claimed I assaulted him, called his mother, and his mother called the police, pleading that I be charged. Luckily, the security monitors cleared me of all wrong-doing. I hope you no longer wonder why trustworthy instructors are difficult to find and difficult to keep. &nbsp,

None of this will alter policy, just as we can wring our arms about removing prayer and education from schools. As a teacher, I want an executive empowered to work their school the way they see fit, and school boards focused on individuals, never votes. As a taxpayer, I want to receive training that is based on actual results rather than on statistics that show how many kids have worry. My goal as a family is for my children to grow up eager to learn and practice important thinking, and they can only do that when they are safe.

Normal people who have known and worked for Trump are speaking on this final day of the RNC agreement. They discuss his ability to develop an institution’s core and his own point of view. Although I do n’t play golf or invest in real estate, I think President Trump is the person who can reform the state’s failing public education system and bring it back to order. If we can do that, we can change the lifestyle away from lawful violence that starts in our colleges toward creative citizens who better themselves, their communities, and our society.

As we all ought to be, President Trump is concerned about the number of Americans who are left behind. The first place they’re passed through is common knowledge rooms. Teachers are also ready and undersupported to fulfill all of the demands and goals that people who rarely, if ever, step on their campuses place them on. &nbsp,

I’m not disparaging the bad behavior of these individuals or their parents, who are too tired, forgetful, or glad to right it. I’m not blaming teachers for failing because a system so complicated it sabotages its own function. In the clearest possible terms, what I’m urging is to abolish the Department of Education and create a public education system that is deserving of American uniqueness. &nbsp,
