Educational laws policies and
regulations have always bin part of
government operations. Most of the
time they regulate what is to be
taught, how it is to be taught and
how to finance them. Many actions
wrongly reflected the opinions of
those in power, the dominant
religion and economic system,
instead of what is best for the
teachers, students, parents and
society!!!. |
|
Here is my
opinion |
|
1.Their actions must always be based on what is
best for the society, staff, teachers, administators
students and parents not for the special interest!. |
|
2. Their actions must never reflect the dogmas,
opinions and views of any religion. |
|
3. Their actions need to encourage the students
to think creatively and independently, |
|
4. Their actions must prevent any system from
establishing segregation in any forms. |
|
5. Their actions must provide adequate money to
run the schools especially in paying the staff. |
|
6. Their actions must protect the students and
staff from such acts as bullying, violence, and
intimidation. |
|
7. Their actions must encourage the help for
those special needs students. |
|
8. Their actions must provide ways to help
people who are disabled. |
|
9. Provide adequate funding to all levels of
education from preschool through college |
|
10. Their actions must provide comprehensive
medical life, visual, mental and dental insurance. |
|
11. Their actions must insure that teachers
ability to teacher within their expertise and
qualifications as long as it is not dogmatic, one sided
or detrimental! |
|
12. Their actions must never impose the
imposition of one sided social political or religious
ideology |
|
13.Their actions must never prevent a
union
from protecting the staff! |
