Achieving Better Comprehension

Literacy is the cornerstone of education; every subject is impacted by a student's aptitude for reading and writing. Approximately 40% of children in the United States cannot read at a basic level.

Students who fully understand material will naturally perform better and engage more fully. For example, a  student struggling with science may not actually have difficulties with the content, but rather the act of comprehending the reading assignments.

Fostering a love of reading creates dedicated students who make time for books in their free time and become life-long learners. On average, for every ten students in 8th grade, only two read recreationally.

Accomplishing Bold Changes

Catering to each student's individual needs is a necessity for high quality education. Individualized education plans are proven methods of improving student achievement.

Students have unique learning styles, levels, and interests which should be cultivated in order to provide the highest quality of education available. For example, in a classroom of diverse learners, teaching to the middle of the classroom is not sufficient.

Expectations are always high for students, since even challenged learners can grow in a positive and supportive learning environment. No Child Left Behind, which sought equality of achievement outcome, was flawed because it catered to challenged students while abandoning advanced learners; equality of opportunity is critical to every student's success.

Advocating Balanced Communication

Education starts at the home. Students who read with their parents have dramatically better literacy rates, decreased social issues, and increased overall academic success.

Parental choice and input is one of the most important elements of any educational environment. Because children spend 70% of their time outside of school, parental education is one of the primary vehicles for student learning.

Open communication between teachers and parents is key to the educational partnership and the academic success of the students. In particular, student interests are best represented by the parents, not the government, or any school system - public or private.
