We Need an Education Bill of Rights
The courses, and programs, proposed to Reform Public Education are designed to create a positive and supportive School Culture that promotes individual achievement and growth — the purpose of education.
For example:
Civics Courses promote informed Patriotism and pride in our heritage.
Civilization Development Courses promote appreciation of arts and literature that created cultures that transformed Civilizations.
Socialization Skills Development teaches students how to communicate effectively; how to “actively” listen to understand; how to resolve conflicts; how to show respect for others; how to develop and manage relationships; and, other social skills to make students competent in their interactions.
Life Skills Development Courses equip students with practical knowledge to make good decisions, and solve problems, that occur throughout their life. By making students “well-rounded”, they are more capable of meeting the challenges they will face as adults in a constantly changing environment.
