A Nation is people. Good people are not born, they are made. Even though we all love babies, they are so cute, so pure and so fun to hug, but in truth there is no virtue in a child. There is no love in a child. Love is taught. A child wants what it wants and it wants it now. It takes whatever it sees and cries when it cannot have it. It never gives anything. Giving, loving, sharing, waiting, everything we love about little children is taught by the parents. But parents cannot raise a good child by themselves, for sooner or later the child comes in contact with other children, other people, other ideas, TV, radio, and school.

Parents have a right to trust their town, their school, their environment as much as they trust themselves. It is the goal of good government to create that environment. A Nation will be as good, as wealthy, as peaceful as its people are. People are what they are taught, first by their parent, then by their community, and then by their schools. A Nation is what the people are. The greatest asset of a Nation is not oil or wine or wheat, or rice or gold, but it is people.

I have lived in America for 60 years. I have seen one of the greatest education systems in the world become one of the worst systems in the world. Today America must import knowledge from the school systems of Japan and India and Germany and even Russia. The schools are not producing any educated people today at all. In the mid 50s and 60s a man called John Dewey changed the systems from education to socialization.

Today almost everyone is afraid to send their children to public schools even those who have no religion at all. Schools are just not save. They receive no education that is useful to make a living. Some graduate without being able to read or write. When I was a child reading books taught you how to read but also taught morals. Today the exaggerated interpretation of separation of Church and State makes morals illegal. As a result of the corruption of the school systems, there are web sites and organizations now advocating the separation of school and state. Their arguments make me believe that the State should have nothing to do with schools except to see to it that everyone has the opportunity to go.

The best schools over the past 1500 years have been private schools and mostly Catholic Schools. Even today the great Colleges all over the world are Catholic and Private schools. The problem with these schools is that poor people cannot attend them. Considering that the Church runs the best schools in the world and at the cheapest costs, this Nation should take advantage of the best at the cheapest and finance them so that poor people can attend and that the Nation has the best.

In those countries where the education is the best there are not sports within the school systems. They have sports in the local towns and sports clubs but not in the schools. Schools should be for the mind and not the body. Japan and Germany have great school systems but without sports.

People who cannot or will not learn will be removed from the systems. Those who want to learn should not be disrupted or slowed down by those who do not want to learn. School should be always available but not an absolute right and not mandatory. Education is the goal of the school system and not self-esteem. No one will pass to another grade who has not learned the requirements of the present grade. The object of the school system is to give everyone basic knowledge to made a living and understand the moral and ethic laws of the land, and to find and train the best minds of the Nation to greatness. It will not lower its standards to average or low intelligence. Anyone who will not learn or obey his or her teachers will be removed from the school system. Teachers will be respected with honor.

Children up to the ages of 11 to 13 have almost no deductive reasoning but have great ability to memorize and therefore those things that take memory should be taught at the lower grades: language, reading, writing, simple math, multiplication tables, music, and history. Nonetheless, to have order in school discipline, morals, ethics, and religion should also be taught. Today everyone should be able to type with 10 fingers and this also is best taught to children at ages as low as 6 or 7 years.

After this will come the sciences that require logic and deductive reasoning. There is no room for theory in any schools except for advanced classes in College. Facts are the need of the lower grades and without a good knowledge of facts, theory is useless.

There is no need in a Nations education system to teach social skills but strictly that knowledge that will be useful to the nation and the future work of the individual. Social skills belongs to the parents and grandparents.

Special clinics are the best education for the very gifted in the advanced sciences. Clinics that are used for research by the great minds of the Nation and for the education of the future great minds of the Nation. These clinics should have no other distraction but the field in which they are working: clinics for Physics, clinics for chemistry, even for great artists, and even for those who will be great sport stars.
