Ngokwe-poll ye-Gallup, abantu babeka izikolo zikarhulumente njengeyona ndlela yesihlanu yemfundo e-US.Unsplash / NeONBRAND Kukho uthotho lweengxoxo-mpikiswano kwezemfundo malunga nezikolo zikarhulumente xa kuthelekiswa nezikolo zabucala. Ngaba izikolo zomgaqo-nkqubo zingcono? Ngaba ufanele isikolo umntwana wakho? Ngaba umfundi angangcono kwisikolo esizimeleyo, okanye ngaba isikolo esizimeleyo sabucala sinokukhetha ngcono. Kwaye kufuneka kubekho iivawutsha? Nantsi into uluntu olucinga ngayo malunga noluntu kunye nemfundo yabucala eMelika.
Yintoni Abantu Abayicingayo Ngemfundo Ngelo xesha, Ngoku
Imfundo, ke, ngaphaya kwazo zonke ezinye izixhobo ezivela ebantwini, yeyona nto ilinganisa iimeko zamadoda-ivili lokulinganisa loomatshini boluntu, Kubhale uHorace Mann , waqwalaselwa njengoBawo weMfundo kaRhulumente, phaya emva phayaa ngo-1848. Wongeze ngelithi, ndithetha ukuba inika umntu ngamnye inkululeko nokuzimela, anokumelana ngayo nokuzingca kwabanye abantu. Kulunge ngakumbi kunokubhukuqa amahlwempu obutshaba babo kwizityebi; kuthintela ukuba lihlwempu.
Bhalisela iNcwadana yezepolitiki yaBakhangeli
Nangona kunjalo kumashumi eminyaka kamva, abantu baseMelika baphikisana ngesiphelo semfundo yoluntu. Nkqu Utitshala ophumelele amabhaso uJohn Taylor Gatto ubhengeziwe , Simele senze oko zikuko ngokwenene izikolo zethu: iilebhu zolingo ezingqondweni zolutsha, amaziko okuziqhelanisa nemikhwa nezimo zengqondo ezifunwa luluntu. Imfundo enyanzelekileyo inceda abantwana ngengozi; injongo yayo yokwenyani kukubenza abakhonzi.
Kwaye umphandi wezemfundo Isifundo sikaJean Anyon sezikolo zaseNew Jersey ifunyenwe, amava eSikolo, kwisampulu yezikolo ekuxoxwe ngazo apha, zahlukile ngokomgangatho ngokodidi lwentlalo. Umahluko awunakuba negalelo kuphela kuphuhliso lwabantwana kudidi ngalunye lwentlalo lweentlobo ezithile zobudlelwane obubalulekileyo kwezoqoqosho hayi abanye kodwa oko kunganceda ukuvelisa kwakhona le nkqubo yobudlelwane eluntwini. Ngamanye amagama, isikolo sikugcina kwiklasi efanayo yezoqoqosho kunye nalapho uqale khona.
Ukuvota abantu malunga neZikolo zikarhulumente nezabucala
Uluntu luthanda ukuvumelana nolu vavanyo. Ngoku ka Uvoto lukaGallup , abantu babala izikolo zikarhulumente njengeyona ndlela yesihlanu ilungileyo, ngeepesenti ezingama-44 kuphela ezibajonga njengabagqwesileyo okanye abalungileyo, kwaye phantse iipesenti ezingama-20 zoluntu lubabeka njengabahluphekileyo.
I-Gatto ichukumisa abafundi abonwabileyo abafunda emakhaya, kodwa kwa-Gallup efanayo kwafunyanwa kuphela iipesenti ezingama-46 zabaphenduli abalinganisa inkqubo enje ngokugqwesa okanye ukulunga, kwaye iipesenti ezili-15 zinika umbono wokufundela emakhaya kwinqanaba elibi, kubonisa okungcono kwisiphumo kunakwizikolo zikarhulumente.
Izikolo zeCharter zinokufumana ingqalelo enkulu, kodwa zibambekile kwindawo yesithathu ngokwala manqanaba. Izikolo ezizimeleyo, ezinxulunyaniswe neecawe, zenza ngcono kakhulu ngeepesenti ezingama-63 zabantu abanikezela iziko elinje ngokugqwesa okanye inqanaba elifanelekileyo, kwaye zipesenti ezilithoba kuphela ezibonelela ngegama elibi, ngokokuvota kukaGallup.
Ungenzi nzuzo EdChoice Ucacisa ophumeleleyo kuvavanyo lweGallup kwimfundo ye-K-12: isikolo sabucala esizimeleyo. Olu phononongo lufumene iipesenti ezingama-27 zesithuba phakathi kwabaphenduli abalinganise imfundo kwizikolo zabucala kuthelekiswa nezikolo zikarhulumente njengezona zilungileyo okanye ezilungileyo. Nangona iipesenti ezingama-71 zabaphenduli bezinga lezikolo zabucala ngale ndlela, kuphela liipesenti ezilishumi zabafundi baseMelika abahamba kwezo zikolo. Oku kunqunyulwa kuchaza ukungahambelani phakathi kokukhetha kwamaMelika kunye nohlobo lwemfundo abayifumanayo abantwana. 
Iivawutsha zesikolo zinempikiswano enkulu kwezopolitiko zaseMelika, kodwa kunokubakho indlela yokumanyanisa iiDemokhrasi kunye neRiphabhlikhi ngalo mbandela.Iipelisi
Ngaba iivawutsha isisombululo?
UMann wayenethemba lokuba imfundo yoluntu izakuvula amathuba ebantwini. Kodwa kukhangeleka ngathi imfundo yabucala awayefuna ikhefu kuyo ingabonelela ngokufunwa ngabantu. Ezi zikolo zifana nemfundo yabaphathi abaphezulu phezulu Isifundo sesikolo sentlalontle sika-Anyon .
Kodwa singalinika njani ngakumbi elo thuba kubazali abafuna olo khetho kubafundi babo? U-EdChoice uhlalutye uthotho lwezicwangciso zevawutsha kuvavanyo lweMfundo elandelayo . Kwizicwangciso ezininzi ezihlalutyiweyo, inye kuphela, imali yokufunda ngetyala, ifumene uninzi lwenkxaso yoluntu. Kwaye abanye bezopolitiko baseRiphabhlikhi , njengo Rep. Kyle Koehler wase Springfield, eOhio unyanzelisa ukuba ezo nkxaso mali kufuneka zibe zisekwe kwiimfuno.
Iivawutsha zinempikiswano entle kwezopolitiko. Abaxhasi bangazithatha njengesisombululo semfundo eMelika, kodwa abagxeki bathi amandla abo okuchitha abafundi kunye nezixhobo zemali kwimfundo yoluntu, iziko abaninzi abaziva bexhaswa ngemali.
Nasi isisombululo esinokubakho, esekwe kumava am. Xa ndandikwisikolo sokuthweswa isidanga kwiYunivesithi yaseMarquette, sasinenani elifanelekileyo labafundi bamanye amazwe kwinkqubo yethu yokufunda kwizifundo zamanye amazwe kwisikolo esiphumeleleyo. Aba bafundi banamazwe abo ukuba athabathe i-tab yemfundo yabo yokuthweswa izidanga. Ukutshintshiselana, baya kubuyela kumazwe abo kwaye bafundise kwiindawo ezineemfuno eziphezulu kangangeminyaka eliqela, de ityala labo lihlawulwe.
Oku kuyamanyanisa iiDemokhrasi kunye neRiphabhlikhi kumcimbi. I-GOP ngokucacileyo iyazithanda iivawutsha ngokusekwe kunxibelelwano lwabo kwicandelo labucala lesikolo. Inkululeko ezifana nenkqubo kaMongameli uBill Clinton yokuFundisa iMelika, efanayo nale mbono. Kodwa iya kwandiswa iye kubafundi abancinci kakhulu kunye nabazali babo, hayi kuphela abafundi beekholeji okanye abafundi abaphumeleleyo.
Kule nkqubo, abafundi abanesidingo baya kufumana ukhetho lokuya kwisikolo sabucala endaweni yesikolo sikarhulumente. Ukugqitywa kwekholeji, baya kwindawo ephezulu yokufunda kwimfundo yoluntu kwaye bahlawule ityala labo levawutsha. Oku kungagcina izibonelelo ekuthathweni kwisikolo sikarhulumente, kuncede abafundi abafuna izibonelelo zabucala kwaye banike abafundi bezikolo zabucala amava athile esikolo sikarhulumente, mhlawumbi ezinye izimvo zokuyila ngokutsha kunye nokuphucula amaziko akhoyo.
Kuthekani ukuba umntu oza kufumana ivawutsha uhlala emhlabeni ithuba elikhulu lezemali ngaphandle kwekholeji? Lo mfundi uyakufumana ithuba lokuhlawula ivawutsha, ngemali ibuyela kwimfundo yoluntu.
Ngokucacileyo kukho ukuqondwa kwezibonelelo zemfundo yabucala kunye nomnqweno wabantu wokuqinisekisa ukuba elo thuba liyafumaneka ngokusekwe kwimfuno kunye nemfuno-kwaye hayi into yokugcina iklasi ephezulu ilawula, inkxalabo kaMann, Anyon kunye neGatto.
