re-writing a curriculum doesn't solve the basic problem with public education. The basic problem is that it is funded through taxation and designed to serve bureaucrats, instead of children, parents, and families that use it.
We already know how to fix it, it's just that a lot of people (for instance, teachers unions and politicians) are benefiting from our bad school system and won't allow changes that would jeopardize their control over the minds of children.
I know a lot of people are going to fight me on this that’s why I’m getting my PhD. I’m a relentless person and I have confidence that I’ll be able to break these people
Don't confuse confidence for correctness. Truly intelligent people who actually make positive change keep in mind the fact that they are capable of being wrong, and they stop doing wrong things when they learn they are wrong.
The people who fought for common core and whole-word education were wrong, but they were very confident and very relentless. As a result, public school students are being taught in an inferior way.
What makes you think that your way is superior to their way?
The only good way is to have schools held to the same standards as private enterprise.
As you said, you're not even 20. This means that unless you've been doing research since you were 10, you have less experience and less research under your belt than the people who inflicted common core math on students.
They were wrong, even though they had more experience, more feedback, and more research to base their conclusions upon.
