Vainosaina chirevo ichi vanofunga kuti zvinodaidzira kuti vese vanotsigira runyararo, runyararo uye nharaunda vataridze hunhu hwe dambudziko iri uye vatarisana naro nemaune.

DZINOKOSHA KUKUDZIDZA CIVILIAN

Kwakaipisa zvakanyanya kuedza kushandisa sisitimu yechikoro kudzidzisa pfungwa ine hukasha hwakareba kwenguva yakareba munharaunda zvinobva mukugadzwa kwemauto. Kwemakumi maviri emakore apfuura, nekupfupikiswa kudiki kana kufuridzirwa kweveruzhinji, kubatikana kwePentagon muzvikoro uye nehupenyu hwevadzidzi kwakawedzera zvakanyanya. Zvino, semuenzaniso:

• Zuva rega rega rechikoro, vanosvika hafu yemiriyoni vadzidzi vechikoro chesekondari vanopinda makirasi eJunior ROTC kuti vagamuchire mirayiridzo kubva kunevachasiya basa avo vakapihwa ruoko nePentagon kuti vadzidzise vayo vhezheni yenhoroondo uye yevagari vemo. Vadzidzi ava vanopihwa “zvigaro” uye vakataridzirwa kuti vatende kuti tsika dzechiuto uye dzechivanhu dzakafanana, zvichireva kuti kuteerera zvisina kufanira kuzviremera saka chimwe chikamu cheugari hwakanaka.

• Mauto ehondo mauto ezvidzidzo ari kuvambwa mune zvimwe zvikoro zveveruzhinji (Chicago zvino ave nevasere), uko vadzidzi vese vanopihwa huremu hwetsika nemauto uye hutsika.

• Inethiwekhi yezvirongwa zvine chekuita nemauto iri kupararira mumazana ezvikoro zvekutanga uye zvepakati zvikoro. Enzaniso ndeYechidiki Marines uye Starbase zvirongwa, uye zvirongwa zvemauto zvinopinza muzvikoro zviri pasi pejasi reScience / Technology / Engineering / Math (STEM) dzidzo.

• Vashandi vemauto vanodzidziswa kutevedzera "varidzi vechikoro" sechinangwa chavo (ona: "Mauto Chikoro Kunyorera Chirongwa Handbook". Kuvapo kwavo kwakawanda mumakirasi, nzvimbo dzekudya kwemasikati uye pamagungano kune mhedzisiro yekuratidza kukosha kwemauto, kutengesa uye, pakupedzisira, kurwa.

• Kubva 2001, mutemo wezvematongerwo enyika wakakunda kuzvimiririra kwechikoro chevamiririri uye kuvanzika kwemhuri kana zvasvika pakusunungura ruzivo rwevadzidzi kuhondo. Pamusoro pezvo, gore rega rega zviuru zvezvikoro zvinobvumidza mauto kuitisa bvunzo yekupinda - iyo ASVAB - kusvika gumi^th-12^th graders, zvichibvumira vashandisi kupfuudza mitemo inochengetedza kodzero dzevabereki uye kuvanzika kwevadiki uye kuwana mukana kune ruzivo rwevanhu pamazana ezviuru zvevadzidzi.

CHINOKOSHA KUDZIDZISO YEMABHUKU

Kuedza kwakaitwa nemapoka kunze kwechikoro chirongwa chekujoinha kuchengetedza pamwe neyemakambani maitiro mukudzidza kwave kuri kuitika kwehuwandu hwemakore. Mumuenzaniso wechangobva kuitika weruoko rworuboshwe kupindira kwedzidzo, The New York Times rakataura kuti mapoka epati, vachishandisa zvirongwa zvedzidzo uye mabhuku ekupa ruvara, vanga vachimanikidza zvikoro "kudzidzisa kududzirwa kweConstitution, uko hurumende yemubatanidzwa inokambaira uye isingafarirwi muhupenyu hwevanhu vanoda America rusununguko." (Ona:http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/17/us/constitution-has-its-day-amid-a-struggle-for-its-spirit.html )

Mapoka anga achiratidzira kushandura kwavo muzvikoro zvine michina senge Channel One, chirongwa cheTV chakavharwa chinotepfenyura kuburitswa kwezuva nezuva kutengeserana kwevadzidzi muzvikoro zve8,000. Mamwe makambani akabudirira kuita kuti zvikoro zvinyore kusaina zvibvumirano zvepitsa, zvinwiwa zvakapfava uye zvimwe zvigadzirwa, nechinangwa chekudzidzisa kuvimbika kwemhando yekutanga kuvana. Chiitiko cheNational Education Policy Center chakaburitswa muna Mbudzi 2011 chinyorwa nzira dzakasiyana-siyana dzekudyidzana kwevemabhizinesi / echikoro kuri kukuvadza vana dzidzo nekufambisa pfungwa dzevadzidzi "munzira yekudyidzana" uye nekukanganisa kugona kwavo kufunga zvakadzama. (Ona: http://nepc.colorado.edu/publication/schoolhouse-commercialism-2011 )

Iko kuvandudzwa kweiyi yemubatanidzwa-inoshamwaridzika njanji inotaura neyakaomarara yemakambani ajenda yekuparadza yehurumende yeruzhinji system. Nyika kutenderera nyika dziri kupaza mari yedzidzo, kuburitsa pachena mabasa evarairidzi, kudzora kodzero dzevanhu-dzekutaurirana, uye kudzikisira mibatanidzwa yevadzidzisi. Kune kuwanda kwechirter uye "cyber" zvikoro zvinokurudzira kuzvitakudza kwemauto akazvimirira uye kusundidzira kuzvikoro zvinopa purofiti uko muripo unobhadharwa kumakambani akazvimirira manejimendi wakasungirirwa zvakanangana nekuita kwevadzidzi pazviongorori zvakaenzana. Iyo yekuwedzera mhedzisiro kusikwa kwemasisitimu ayo anokudziridza yakapusa fungidziro iyo inosanganisa kutenga kwevatengi pamwe nekuzviisa pasi. (Ona: http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2011/12/michigan-privatize-public-education )

Kubatanidzwa kwedzidzo kuburikidza nezvikoro zvecharter uye kukura kwehutongi chikamu kumayunivhesiti ndeimwe nzira inoshungurudza yedzidzo yeruzhinji. Bhuku raDiane Ravitch Kutonga kwekukanganisa ( http://www.npr.org/2013/09/27/225748846/diane-ravitch-rebukes-education-activists-reign-of-error ) uye bhuku idzva raHenry A.

Mu2009, mubatanidzwa wevadzidzi vechikoro chesekondari, vabereki uye vadzidzisi mune chaiyo yekuchengetedza, guta rinotonga zvehondo reSan Diego rakabudirira kuita kuti bhodhi ravo rechikoro rakasarudzwa dzivhare JROTC kupfura mashure kuzvikoro gumi nemumwe. Makore maviri gare gare, mubatanidzwa mumwe chete uyu wakaita kuti bhodhi rechikoro ripasise bumbiro raitadzisa varwi vechiuto muzvikoro zvaro zvese. Kunyangwe zviitwa zvakadaro zvakati wandei muchiverengero, kukunda kwakafanana kwakawanikwa mune mamwe matunhu echikoro uye padanho rehurumende muHawaii neMaryland.
