Introducing life skill and academic skills at appropriate developmental levels, I believe will promote active learning, social, and self-help skills.

Education Test and Standards should be design open-ended and developmenatally appropriate for age and grade levels of the students.

Notice that children are brighter at a younger age. If we were to point them in the right direction early on, in the future, our society would be up to par and compete with the education levels of other countries.

We are finding that our school does not meet the needs of the gifted children, and the reason is they do not have the funds to manage a gifted program. Problem is, our son is gifted and bored to tears and every morning it's a battle to get him to school. Choice is only worthwhile if they have the ability to implement the choices. Without the money, that just isn't going to happen. Good question! As somebody who is not happy with our current school, I would have to say that more funds might be the solution.

Most money spent on early education goes into a few people's pockets and doesn't really help the children that need it. Go into any public school in this country and see if the money spent on early education has made any difference. If anything, the students are less knowledgeable than they were before the government stepped into the child care/preschool business. Students are more inconsiderate of others as well. If money was spent on school choice, than schools would rethink how their schools are run because they want that money going to them.
