The proper education of one’s citizens is the responsibility of any good government, of which that education needs to consist of a body of knowledge that is in conformity with common sense, as well as being truthful in the knowledge so being disseminated to students. In other words, it’s important that children be educated in a way and manner that is consistent throughout America, so that there is a common body of knowledge that all have acquired, or at least have been exposed to.
This signifies that the principal subjects so being taught, need to be consistent to one another, no matter the school district or the location of such, and while there should be room for variations depending upon school systems and their interest of emphasis, there must though still be a core foundation of knowledge which is consistent throughout our educational system, or else we will find that the unity, belonging, and inclusivity of what America should be, has been diverted to something else that creates unnecessary conflict within this republic.
There definitely is a need for a foundation of knowledge that all students should be not only challenged to learn, but that they should also be tested upon so as to ascertain whether or not they are knowledgeable about the things that they should know. After all, the more knowledge that each of us has, the more effective we will all be when it comes to collaboration and a basic understanding of one to the other.
Indeed, it has to be acknowledged that America is in so many respects, a melting pot, of which people have different backgrounds, different habits, different wealth, and are of different national origins, which thereby necessitates that for all citizens of these United States, there has to be a common ground of knowledge that pretty much everyone agrees is sensible, worthy, and of merit to be taught. This is why the Federal government needs to do its part to see that those who are in primary and secondary schools not only have a common core curriculum to learn, but that this curriculum has been properly vetted, as to whether it represents the best that America can do on behalf of its students being educated.
It is of supreme importance to this nation that just because somebody is born here, or has become naturalized here, that they also have a basic understanding of what America stands for, and how it came to that viewpoint, and the importance thereby that each of us contributes our fair part on behalf of America, by each of us thereby doing our best in contributing to its continuation and its strength. After all, this nation is only going to be as good as its people, great Constitution or not, which means that it is incumbent upon this government to educate its citizens so that they know their responsibilities to that government of, for, and by the people, best accomplished by having a common objective, so built upon the common knowledge that all have learned well in school and beyond.
