Really seems like they only needed one cut, and that was to make women just not want to have kids during their best reproductive years. This cut you speak of seems like a miss because again, a 50% reduction wouldn't substantially alter the birth rate unless a significant percent of the population was trying to have more than two or three kids. When people are trying to have kids, they have far more than twice as much sex as they normally would.
School should be K-8 and make 9-12 higher learning.
I personally would prefer K-8 be all general knowledge stuff (like a practical level of math and science) which will then transition into an apprenticeship program to fill in the rest. Can you imagine if you had started to learn you career when you were 12 or 13? It would be like you got a 10 year head start on your career.
The vast majority of stuff I learned in high school was an elective or something that should have been an elective such as marine biology or a foreign language. The other stuff was tainted by being taught by liberal teachers so the books I read for literature and history did not actually provide good examples of literature or a useful grasp of history. Fortunately I always loved reading and was fascinated by history so I pursued these things independently, but had I not I would have read true classics or have learned history that was correct and meaningful to understand current events.
Yes I would have transferred to a trade school if it had lacked the stigma and also kids who for kicked out of regular school were enrolled in trade schools as a last resort so they had an even higher population of future felons than my school.
It would be cool if they added classes on top of that to explain concepts like retirement programs, health insurance, 401Ks, various tax forms, how to write a proper resume, applying for loans, how to make it in the job world, explaining what terms like "liquidity of assets", "next of kin" and all of this other jargon mean.
Would be cool if my kid doesn't have to curse under his breath at 18 because his retail job NEEDS to know the monetary value of all of his liquidable assets, and he can't figure out what the hell that even means.
The primary function of school should be to prepare you for adulthood. The school system has failed us, telling us college or poor are the only two choices, and we all should go to college because we're smart, or do a trade because we're not the best academically. Real life doesn't involve calculating the quadratic equation, or remembering which country we bought Louisiana from, or using words like quixotic, idiosyncratic, or pedantic. And things high school students learn are useless and teach them that learning is the equivalent of unpaid work, and to be thankful they have the opportunity to solve for X without paying.
No, I think they'd be more thankful knowing how to apply for a job and make a proper resume, and how to kickstart their careers and network, for example how to find networking events within their careers, and where to look. But no, that's a chat for an anxious high school student and a guidance counselor two times per year.
I tell you, there is a smoking hot waitress .. her boyfriend proposed to her after kid #3. As she is just 21 now, her body looks like she has never been pregnant.
Everyone reading this goes, 3 kids at 21, thats too young! And that is precisely the problem . Her body bounced back, she had 3 kids replacing her and her fiancee, she is going to spend her 40's doing fun adult things kid free...What exactly was wrong except jewed society convincing fellow whites that is the wrong way?
Before 1980, that's what everyone did.
