Summary
Our Students matters; their education matters, and they an immerse environment to best help their learning with the teachers in our schools. These goals below can bring Maryland back into the top ten school systems in America.
Funding
Many districts are losing funding because of declining growth; however, the class sizes are doubled. Thus, the value and worth of teaching are lost. We need to close the $4000 gap per student and restore our faith in our teachers.
Early Childhood
Our Children's educations are being privatized for-profit at all grade levels; our schools are public, not-for-profit. Today even teachers provide online resources for Parents to ensure Children are ready before ages three to five. This goal is vital to our success to end all racial disparities.
Disabilities and Special Education
Everyone has a different way to learn with any learning disability like Autism, bi-polar, or physical condition. Children must matter in our schools, so they're not left behind. Our teachers can be trained as new students become their teacher's aid. So our teachers can plan to ensure our children with special needs are met daily.
Teachers
Teachers need to be protected by a collective bargaining agreement to ensure they're skilled, can reach the goals of our system, and have the tools to succeed for everyone within the school system.
College and Career
Advancing our Economy with our local leaders in the industrial and commercial enterprises is vital to keeping our career jobs and college students local when seeking high-paying jobs. Our employers need to invest in our students from the time they're sophomore in High School or College to ensure the job market is meet with skilled and qualified workers.
Accountability
Our teaching is working to a testing standard of days gone by not the needs of our future economy or advancements that are needed to make our communities grow. Our communities range from Birthing Centers to Zoo Keepers. Each measure of those skill-sets need to be taught and immersed to our students to ensure their passion and love to work is meet not by a standard test, but by practical testing to perform in our new emerging workplaces.
