Our Public Policy Recommendation
   Our public policy recommendation plan is something fairly untested around the country, but it takes bits and pieces of many Centrist groups, and other policies supported by Special Interest Groups, and centrist, fairly non-partisan Congressmen. Our solutions are a fairly major overhaul of the current Education system because we feel that the current system does not work and most Conservative and Liberal congressmen on both sides of the aisle are pandering to groups to get votes. Our public policy plan deals with 5 main steps for reform, the first minor reforms and the later ones much more major:
•   For the first two years increasingly offer incentives in either the form of a 300 dollar tax cut or 200 dollar pay for all students who graduate. This plan would be phased in to less successful schools and later to all.
•   Toughen up around schools for financing immediately so that there is no “luxury” spending for swimming pools, and other sports equipment rather than books and teacher pay.
•   Immediately introduce merit pay raise for teachers so that those who succeed will get paid more than those who are average, there will be a highly regulated system for this. We will also work with Unions so that this benefits all teachers. We will also immediately offer a 2,000$ pay raise for all teachers, and a 2,000$ extra for those who work in troubled inner-city schools. This should increase teacher quality.
•   In the next 4 years introduce more “on the job” classes and other more “real life” classes so that students get a more interactive school career which keeps them organized and also competitive in the workforce with other countries.
•   Our most major plan of policy will take 10 years to do and will be slowly phased out across the country. This school will be called a Trade Academy and will actually be a real job for reduced pay, where students would actually get in job training. Almost all job classes offered would be Physical Labor. Unions and Businesses would cooperate to train future workers. This should make students more interested in staying in school and will actually lead to having more Skilled Labor across the country leading to more competition around the world.
Our plan is not limited by the state or national constitution and does not breach any existing laws. Our plan is actually supported by the Constitution, because it will lead to the General Welfare of people begin raised.
   Our agency in the government should be the Education Branch of the government that will oversight it around the country and make small changes if some elements of the plan do not work. The branch of the government that would pass the Bill would be the Legislative Branch and the Education and Labor Committees on the House might make changes to the Bill. After this the Department of Education should run the Bill’s contents.
   Our public policy should be mainly run involve Civil Society, but also includes the Private Sphere because they will assist the Trade Schools existence. Our main reason for this is that often the Private Sphere does not get the job done without stiff regulation or that it is not fairly equal as our society is based off of Trade and Profits. We also believe that Education, should be a thing of total equality.
