PS I AM not Joking

I would recommend that President Trump appoint you to be the head of the Education Department.

You could join Secretary Kennedy in President Trump's cabinet. You would be a perfect fit.

PS I am not kidding.

Also, what are you going to do about all the loss of social interaction among students from kindergarten through senior year of high school? And, what about the loss of individual instruction from all teachers during this same period of time? Some of these teachers have been inspirational, at least for me.

Schools only work well if the following happen:
1) The teachers are actually dedicated to have students learn not just about their country's history and also encourage students who have hidden talents to develop them...
schools do not work well if
A) the students are taught by rote...read a chapter in the LITERATURE book {NOTHING ABOUT HOW AMERICAN LITERATURE DEVELOPED OVER 200 YEARS] and write BORING 200 word essays on what you did all summer and you learn nothing about home economics or who to cope with life outside school ALSO INSTEAD OF PREACHING SIMPLE LESSONS SLAVERY BAD AND SOUTHERSN BAD ALSO AND TEAR DOWN CS MONUMENTS WHICH WAS THE COMMON THREAD...TEACH STIUDENTS THAT CIVIL RIGHTS...HAS ONY BEEN GOING ON FOR ONLY ABOUT 100 YEARS//AND THAT MANY SOCIETIES IN THE WORLD..SLAVERY IS A LEGAL [BUT NOT A MORAL) INSTITUTION
B) Students who aren't interested in anything except being loud, stupid and disruptive..
c) The teaching tools are out of date...back n the 1970s when progressive schools are actually teaching students to use computers...the school I went to only had computers for the faculty...the nearest thing to computer teaching was trying to learn touch typing on 1940s typetriters [like see on on Gomer Pyle USMC] {My mother had a state of the art plug in electric typewritter at home!)
D) Then of course there is the local school board.... PRIME EXAMPLE OF THEIR INTERFERENCE CAN BE SEEN AT THE POST MESSAGE nO 1)
ps SCHOOL bUILDINGS WOULD HAVE A PLACE FOR SOCIAL INTERACTION..AS SPORTS SCHOOLS
