What is a school trustee's favorite extracurricular activity? Spending taxpayer money!
Educrats and most school trustee's seem to have a hard time understanding the concept of education. Most believe that bigger and newer buildings are the answer to their problems. Most know that these buildings don't take the TAKS exams and the building has very little to do with student success.
Schools are not the only problem! Cities and Counties have a spending problem as well.

Our public schools have made many students dependent upon them for learning.
I am convinced that our students at all levels must become self-paced, independent learners. I am convinced that our schools must be run in more cost effective ways.
Existing and emerging technologies have already made self-paced learning a reality. Most of our public schools are not taking advantage of what can be done using computers and computer-based technologies. Computers are more than flash cards. Computers and related technology should be used as tools for learning.
I think that most K-12th grade students will benefit greatly when our computer-based technologies are more properly used. I think that some changes are greatly needed after the 3rd grade. It is after grade 3 that many of our students start falling behind.
In the near future more students will be able to meet national curriculum standards and learn what they are interested in learning. Students involved in extracurricular activities will benefit greatly from self-paced learning. Rapid learners will not be slowed down and slow learners will not be come academic causalities.
Entire high school and college level mathematics, science and other courses are now available on DVDs and other digital media. Multiple ways to teach various topics are being developed by teachers and others around the world. The research on brain development is being used to devise ways to teach students with different sets of learning abilities. Teachers are learning how to direct and manage these students.
Those in control of our public schools are not moving fast enough in making better and more cost effective uses of technology and teachers in educating students. Some administrators and teachers know that computers can replace them. Soon, those in control of our public schools will not be able to ignore the existing and emerging technology. The technology will be all around them.
