Welcome to the Educational Freedom Organization. (EFO)
Educational standards are at an all-time low. Politicians have concocted remedies such as extending school hours, increasing standardized testing, and even ending summer vacation. They come up with these “remedies” due to the core belief that the problem is not the way the schooling system is operated, but the problem is none other than the students themselves. They think students have a lack of motivation or some other deficiency that is holding test scores back. They think all of the problems in education today can be fixed with longer hours, and harder work on the students part.
Sadly, the truth of the matter is that there is nothing wrong with the students, but it is the schooling system itself which is flawed. Millions of wasted dollars are dumped into today’s schools with only tired, stressed out students to show for it, and there’s no clear end in sight. That is why this organization was created. We have the solution others have failed to offer.
EFO, or the Educational Freedom Organization is an organization that was created for the sole purpose of improving education by increasing students freedoms and choice in academics. We believe one of the fundamental flaws in compulsory schooling is that people who are forced to learn things they dislike are far less likely to retain them, while people who are given the opportunity to choose what they learn excel. Isn’t the whole purpose of school to prepare us for the future? What better way to do it than to let us explore possible careers and excel at our interests?
