EXTREME SOCIALIST ZEALOTS HAVE INFILTRATED OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM DURING THE PAST 25 YEARS. THESE COMMUNISTS HAVE BROUGHT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO THE BRINK. IN SOME SCHOOL SYSTEMS THE DROP OUT RATE IS OVER 50%. THAT IS RIGHT FELLOW PATRIOTS, YOU ARE PAYING UNION TEACHERS TO TEACH BUT THEIR SUCCESS RATE IS NOT VERY HIGH. THEIR CHARGES ARE DROPPING OUT QUICKER THAN BEES OUT OF A HIVE SPRAYED WITH RAID. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING? FOUR REASONS: NUMERO UNO, THE TEACHERS LACK THE SKILLS TO MOTIVATE THEIR STUDENTS,  NUMERO DOS, THE TEACHERS DO NOT KNOW THE SUBJECT HENCE THE STUDENTS BECOME LETHARGIC AND BORED TO DEATH, NUMERO TRESS, THE STUDENTS ARE CONCENTRATING ON OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES RATHER THAN SCHOOL WORK, NUMERO CUATRO, THE PARENTS OF THE STUDENTS ARE NOT Interested IN THEIR Children's EDUCATION..

HOW DO WE TURN THIS AROUND? AND WE MUST TURN IT AROUND. BECAUSE IF WE DON'T THE CONSEQUENCES ARE MONUMENTAL. WE IN THE UNITED STATES WILL SEE THE REST OF THE WORLD OVER RUN US IN GROWTH,  IN WEALTH OF THEIR CITIZENS AND MOST OF ALL IN WORLD STANDING.  TO LET THIS U.S. BECOME SECOND RATE IS NOT AN OPTION THAT WE CAN AFFORD.  IT IS UP TO US TO MAKE OTHERS UNDERSTAND THE FAILURE OF OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM. THAT FAILURE HAS BEEN COMPOUNDED BY THE PARENTS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR CHILDREN'S EDUCATION AND LEAVING THE "BABY SITTING" TO THE TEACHER. THE FAILING STUDENT IS A BURDEN ON THE TAXPAYER.  IN MANY CASES IT COST OVER $200,000 TO EDUCATE A CHILD. WHEN HE OR SHE DROPS OUT, YOU THE TAXPAYER SEES YOUR MONEY GO DOWN THE DRAIN.

SO, TO PROMOTE MORE RESPONSIBILITY WE PROPOSE PENALTIES FOR DROPPING OUT AND PENALTIES FOR FAILING. OUR PENALTIES ARE HARSH, BUT THAT IS WHAT IS NEEDED IN THE 21ST CENTURY.  PENALTY 1, IF YOU DON'T GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL YOU ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR A DRIVERS LICENSE, PENALTY 2, YOU MUST PAYBACK THE COST OF YOUR EDUCATION THROUGH THE YEAR THAT YOU DROPPED OUT. 3. IF YOUR PARENTS ARE ON WELFARE OR RECEIVE PUBLIC ASSISTANCE IT IS TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU.  4. YOU WILL NOT BE ENTITLED TO FOOD STAMPS OR ANY WELFARE BENEFITS. AND 5. THIS WILL PREVENT MOST TEENAGERS FROM DROPPING OUT, YOU WILL BE RECRUITED BY THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTION TO CLEAN THE TOILETS IN THEIR INSTITUTIONS FOR AS MANY YEARS AS YOU NEEDED TO GRADUATE.  "THIS WILL BE ON WAY TO SOLVE THE DROPOUT PROBLEM"  THE OTHER WILL BE FOR SCHOOL CHOICE AND A VOUCHER SYSTEM FOR PARENTS WHO WANT TO ENROLL THEIR CHILD IN A SUPERIOR EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT.
