Charter Schools backed up by police that arrest disobedient students and haul them to privatized juvenile detention centers. The more money to be made, the more loosely the definition of disobedient to become.
Children indoctrinated to a new normal of guns, "obedience", and creationism.
This is the Tea Party vision.
A system that may eventually emulate extreme schooling in Pakistan. The key is to bring in a new kind of "dumbed down" teacher incapable of independent thinking. You do that by reducing pay to create a less desirable occupation for college graduates. You do that by enforcing strict, defined doctrine and weeding out those that may object.

(2,681 posts)Yes, the dumbing down is correct along with the other parts of the Tea Party vision. Remember in Louisanna, some charter schools teach that man and dinosaur existed at the same time. Don't need a college degree to spout stupid stuff like that.
