Ducey's Focus Entry#5

Introducing a correspondence, boldly note that I was unable to finish analyzing the third page of Governor Doug Ducey Next Step instead my two sense rudely interrupted, ha-ha culture value education as a choice and nomination of Parental Duty. It is important to interrupt and look at each separately before considering an opinion. First off, Under the Sea raising the bar section, he regretfully points out that on 42% of Arizona in adults have a college degree. My thought is that why is that unacceptable?

 After all, education is a choice that is supported by Ducey. Not to mention, how is it logical to put standards upon an issue that varies person to person, and their needs versus wants with keeping an open mind to the fact that it’s a choice not a requirement. Then I wonder how does he plans on actually raising this percent to 60 one? Maybe also described as changing 18% of people’s decisions, at what cost though?

Next, is the false pretense that parent empowerment is valued in the community. Although it is surely realistic it does not describe the current parental standards at all. The phrase parent empowerment is a concept that describes parents as the primary teachers to their own children, according to the online source, Families and Schools Together. On the contrary, it has seemed that statistics regarding parents are rising in child abuse due to the increase in single-parent homes partnering with a survival requirement of two- income producing parents, as explained on the Health Profits website. If that’s the case, it should be questioned, if child abuse is all time high 48.8% and is due to lack of Parental availability, then when does the parent have time to take on a study session with their kids?

 Actually, it sounds like Ducey is prioritizing the wrong kind of issues, in my opinion. Ultimately, by bringing up these two points together it is obvious that somewhere someone would like to mislead the public into thinking ideally about having a choice, but he fails to inform the plan of enforcing new policies and manipulating basic standards so that it will force the public in only one direction. Of course, that direction will give officials more power, less free choice to the public, and will end up hindering society’s overall ability to pursue happier living circumstances.

Despite obvious speculations, Ducey’s plan to support Proposition 123 in the community has already approved 142 million dollars to K through 12 education and another 38 million to universities. Hopefully, this additional money may be used for not only in new ways of teaching parents to role model for their kids, but even more significant underlying issues, like teacher’s pay currently being under reasonable standards. In turn, that should help aid the concern of poor teaching methods.
