Why Are You Ranking: Best Solutions to the Education Crisis in America Listed from Smart to Genius
Back to the meat grinder, the children of America trudge to these government schools. They're tasked with not why or how they should think but what they should feel. Whole curricula are dedicated to emotionalism and not critical thinking skills. Though their name bears Progressive, the actual regressiveness involved is in the true nature of this collection of people. For over a century, regressives have been trying to warp the minds of the young people of the most moral nation in history, America. This approach to education has lead to the United States sliding down the lists of tests regarding mathematics, reading and comprehension, and science amongst a whole host of other subjects. As bureaucrats rush to say that “education is the key” and that we “need more education” and to “pay our teachers more,” they would be right. But the means by which they seek to execute these platitudes is to implement more government in schools, not less. The twisted irony here is that with the government education model in place, things have only gotten worse. Children have no clue how to conceptualize or formulate complete ideas. Teachers who just see their work as another paycheck show malaise as their salaries are determined by government bureaucrats, not free market performance. To add to this disaster would be like spraying napalm on an already roaring fire. There exist solutions to this problem and they involve government. Yes, in a free market, the government would be able to protect schoolchildren from threats at home, from abroad, and to settle their differences in court if they find themselves in a legal bind.

Principle of Education
Education is an important internal resource that some see as not for them without realizing its great potential for opening many doors of opportunities. The term "Education" is described through a variety of different definitions. One specific definition, the act or process of general knowledge and developing the powers of reasoning and judgement, closely identifies with my idea of education and how I perceive it. Still, it’s so much more to defining the term education, besides the books. I see it as expanding one’s knowledge through perception and understanding of the things around you. I believe education begins the moment our parents begin teaching us how to talk and walk and everything else that is taught to us before we reached school age.

Why I Became a Scientist
A short time ago, I was approached with a job offer to work in an on-site R&D lab. After so many years of working in retail and neither making the money I needed to get by, nor to help my nieces, I jumped at the opportunity. I was left with a little over a month at my job of four years, and a lot of goodbyes ahead. This transition also left me with a lot of time for reflection. Why did I even choose to become a scientist in the first place? How did I wind up on the path to an Engineering degree?
