To coin a phrase, “Let’s try the shoe on the other foot.”
Let’s transfer the standards of our national education system to those of other professions.
By the year 2024, all people would have mastery vision.
By the year 2024, we would not need the military,because all dictators, despots, radicals, terrorists, and idiots would stop conquering, killing, massacring, bombing, and invading other countries.
By 2024, cures for disease would be at a mastery level,and all doctors could retire.
Tooth decay and dental problems would come to a standstill; we would all beam a perfect Crest white smile.
Go ahead and remove the braces. We will legislate that a parent must produce children with perfect teeth.
We would master cystic fibrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, back disorders, diabetes, hypertension, breast cancer, gall bladder disease, leukemia, strokesand heart attacks, glaucoma, hot flashes, headaches, hangnails, warts, zits, and puberty.
Transportation would no longer be a problem becausewe would master the energy problem.
Star Trek Fleet would replace airplanes, trains, and ships.
Everyone would have a personal hover car that worked on magnetism and have no emissions or cost.
Suddenly, in 2024, hunger would be mastered, and no one would fall into the hunger sub-group.
Annual Yearly Progress (AYP) would mean that food would increasingly become more healthful.

Stay with me, now.
By the year 2024, parents would marry and become financially, economically, and psychologically stable before having children. They would produce perfect children who have good intellectual, physical, psychological, and social potential.
All parents would raise their own children.
No parent would be allowed to suddenly die before the children were grown, so we could master the orphan problem.
Parents would read and talk to their children every day.
One parent would stay home and keep the house clean and provide nutritious, home-cooked meals.
We would master the day care problem. Parents would read stories to their children before nap and bedtime, and the wonderful family conversations would build children’s verbal abilities and critical thinking skills.
The family conversations would instill more and social values, love, nurturing, and stimulate the intellect.
All children would come to school ready to learn.
No child would be neglected or abused—verbally, physically, or psychologically. They would be perfectly calm and accommodating to others.
There would never be a bully or a victim.
All children coming to school would be perfectly unique, identical individuals.
Children would suddenly all be equally intelligent and all have wonderful abilities.
By 2024, there would be no dyslexia, mild mental difficulty, behavior disorder, 504 plans, Individual Education Plans or a need for IEP meetings, special services, speech therapists, hearing clinicians, physical therapists, modifications, handicapped services, or the need for pre-school.
So where is the analogy going?
It suggests that America needs an educational system based on solid, realistic planning by state and national politicians.
Perhaps we need to challenge our current Washingtonrégime to pass rules and decrees that are designed to benefit our children and not for the elite, aristocratic lords, and nobles who are just in it for their own political parties.
