Socialist Public Schools In America

v class="googleright">Many parents might meditation it a bit farfetched to contrast our
public schools to schools in socialist or communist countries.
However, whether we look closer, we will see emphatic similarities
between the two systems.
In the former socialist-communist Soviet Union, for example,
the government owned all property and all the schools. In
America, public schools are likewise government property,
controlled by regional government officials. In Soviet Russia, the
government forced all parents to mail their children to
government-controlled schools. In America,
compulsory-attendance decrees in all fifty states force parents to
send their children to public schools.
The Soviet potentates taxed all their subjects to pay for their
schools. Here, always taxpayers pay compulsory school taxes to
assist public schools, whether or not the homeowner has
children or thinks the schools are incompetent. In the Soviet
Union, all teachers were government employees, and these
officials controlled and administered the schools. In America,
instructors, principals, administrators, and school janitors are
also government employees, paid, trained, and pensioned through
government taxes.
In the Soviet Union, maximum administration employees could not be
fired they had a "right" to their jobs. Public-school employees
in America also trust they have an alleged right to their
jobs, enforced through tenure laws. As we will look afterward, in
America, it's virtually impossible to launch tenured teachers. In
communist Russia, competence and going hard didn't matter
quite much ― the government paid most laborers regardless of
their representation on the job.
In America, public-school teachers' salaries rely aboard width
of service competence namely irrelevant. In communist Russia, the
essence ruling level had estates in the village while
laborers starved. Here, public-school authorities get fat
salaries, pensions, and benefits while our children starve as
a real education.
In communist Russia, government control of food supplies
created eighty years of continuing starvation. In America, 1 hundred
and fifty years of public schools has created one educational
famine. Millions of public-school children tin merely read
while the system wastes twelve years of our children's lives.
Still think the comparison to communist schools is too
farfetched? Albert Shanker, former President of the American
Federation of Teachers, the second largest teacher's articulation,
once said: "It's time to acknowledge namely public education operates
like a blueprinted economy, a bureaucratic system in which
everyone's character is spelled out in advance and there are few
incentives for innovation and productivity. It's not surprise
that our school system doesn't improve. It more resembles the
communist economy than our own mart economy."
Finally, schools in some Marxist countries like China seem to
give a better, extra exercised schooling in the basics of
reading, writing, and math than our public schools.
