5 Things To Help Education

1. Without a good teacher, an entire class can fall behind. I would have much stricter requirements for teachers in all aspects. Tenure would not exist at the high school level, if a teacher didn’t perform, they had to pay the price, no questions asked.
2. Hold parents accountable. If a child is not performing at school, the parents should be intimately involved to resolve that, whether it be counseling or even making the parents come to tutoring with the child to help. Education starts at home, we need to enforce that. 
3. Make sure students are in the class they need. It is ignorant to say that every student is capable of learning equally. Maybe they all have the capacities to learn everything, but not in the same amount of time. Some will learn math more quickly, putting them in a class that doesn’t teach it as quickly is only hurting them. 
4. Enforce harsher penalties for poor grades. If a student doesn’t perform, they must be caught up. Using mandatory after school or evening tutoring which the parents also had to attend would fix that in no time. 
5. Reward good grades. In my high school, if your grades and attendance were good, you didn’t have to take any finals at the end of the semester. Some kind of incentive would be worthwhile.
