I want to start by asking what improvements you would like to see made in our education system? (K-12 and higher) Please be detail orientated, give examples and data if possible. I’ll start by posting some topics of interest to jump from.
Should creationism have equal time in schools as evolution since they are both theories?
Should teachers earn based on performance, i.e. merit pay? How would you set up the system?
Are the new state requirements (Michigan) for high school graduation good or bad? Explain. (If you are unaware, the state is upping the required courses considerably.)
Should teachers be required to enroll in graduate level courses after they start teaching or should they just be rewarded if they choose to?
A while back Jennifer Granholm (Michigan Governor – Dem) spoke about the idea of creating smaller high schools. What is the ideal size of a student body for a high school and why?
Should colleges require a full year of student teaching or just a semester?
