If you want proof of why socialistic systems fail, just look at public education. It’s probably one of the most socialistic institutions in the country and it continues to get poor results because they refuse analyze these policies and change them.
They refuse to look at administrative costs. They refuse to do meaningful performance evaluation. They promote kids based on feeling rather than knowing the content. They refuse to split kids up by ability and let those at the top succeed.
The successes of the Preus school should be a model for public schools. Hey maybe we should segregate the high IQ kids and give them some teachers that can allow them to succeed. Instead that is deemed unfair (The number one phrase in the socialists playbook) and so we stick all the kids in the same room and teach to the left hand side of the bell curve. Everybody on the right side of the bell curve is bored and those are the far left still aren’t getting it.
We just have to accept the fact that everybody isn’t born with the same ability. Life isn’t fair. Let’s try to get those that can really succeed ahead and those that really struggle the basic life skills they need to function in society. They need the ability to read, write and do mathematics. Put them through classes that focus on real life skills and let them skip physics, chemistry, advanced history, etc. Stuff that they don’t need to function and stuff that they can always learn by READING if they are interested in it.
