Socialized Schooling
The other day I stumbled across an incredible idea. It is inspired by the marvelous job done by the Democratic party in using the Rich's money to help the Poor. I see how happy it makes everyone so I figured why not extend the obligatory generosity to school?
So here's the plan....we take points from the A students and give them freely to the worst performing students in each and every school! How amazing is that? I know......it is. Just think about it.
Student X is genetically gifted at learning. He soaks up everything he hears and finishes assignments quickly. He rarely studies and yet consistently outperforms his peers. The end of the semester he finishes with a 98% in the class.
Student Y is genetically disadvantaged at learning. He has trouble following lectures, he studies every day after school for several hours, and works regularly with a tutor. He does everything he can to improve his grades and yet consistently does poorly on exams. The end of the semester he finishes with a 62% in the class.
Now imagine if we could use the extra 8 percentage points gained by Student X to help Student Y get a C? Wouldn't that be incredible?! How many students that would otherwise fail a class could be helped by genetically spoiled , academic brats? The answer is: countless!
Some of the critics may argue: well what about those kids that really work hard for their A's and those kids that slack off and make D's? Shouldn't they be removed from the program? Absolutely not! There is no way we can be sure who's working hard and who isn't, and wouldn't it be a crime to eliminate anyone from such a beautiful idea? I argue, yes it would. Another person might ask, "How long can a student make use of the "free" points?" To be honest, that's just an ignorant question because anyone who's not making good grades now will continue to struggle for the rest of their lives. It's genetic. Willpower has very little (if anything) to do with it.
Also, if anyone's ever watched the tax habits of the democratic party, you'd know that the next step is to show Student X that he should be ashamed of his A's because he didn't really do anything to earn them. Instead convince him that a B would be much more respectable and in so doing, would free up 10 more percentage points to bring F students into passing grades too! Eventually Student X will realize the good that he's doing and feel better about himself. In addition, the increased number of passing students will make our newest generations that much more successful! If everyone succeeds, how can we fail?? Am I right?
I hope you all will join me in this effort.
