Good News about Education

Blog Image

It seems like we only hear bad news when it comes to education. We read about poor schools and low test scores and how we struggle to compete with other countries academically. But now there’s some good news for a change.

According to a recent study released by the Educational Testing Service, over the past decade, teacher qualifications have risen rapidly, improving significantly over their predecessors. This news suggests that more qualified candidates have been lured into teaching. It also means that teachers’ colleges have strengthened and toughened their classes.

This new generation of teachers is stronger and more academic than they were as recently as eight to ten years ago. That’s great news for our education system and wonderful news for our children.

Things finally might be shaping up in our schools . . . and our kids are in better hands for the future.

Donald J. Trump is Chairman of Trump University.

Too many strange tradegys and lack of inspiration!

Yes, I agree that our education system is improving, due in large part to the quality of teachers. But, I also believe the improvement stems from the role parents are playing in their sons and daughters education. Often times parents are accused of playing too active of a role, and labeled "helicopter parents." Taking a participatory approach, parents are also helping lead to the bump in the quality of student coming out of our schools today.

As a brand consultant for schools, I predict that we will witness unprecidented improvement in the next 10-15 years when we see the results of the branding initiatives that schools are now undertaking. Just like businesses, schools are now realizing that in order to compete they must establish a brand that differentiates them from others. This process will enable schools to be more effective in attracting the right faculty, staff, students, donors and others. As a result, academic outcomes, teacher education and other factors will continue to improve.

I agree with you Mr. Trump.

When will Mr Trump be educated enough to read the blog WWW.THECANDUMEMO@blogspot.com.
This blog contains new ideas that would be Good News about Education for Mr. Trump.
He would learn about the Theory of Tax-Enomics. He would learn about the Consumer US Auto Investment Tax Credit. He would learn about the Consumer US Home Buyer's Investment Tax Credit. These are the tools he could espouse to turn around US Economy, the US Auto Industry with an Energy Saving Bonus, and the US Home Value and Mortgage Crisis.
Wow what an education for 10 minutes of Mr. Trump's time.
