A modest Proposal

A Modest proposal to solve the problem of America looking dumber and dumber on a global level, when compared to other nations through testing.

Consider this, a nation that is on the forefront of all thing technological, military, and economic. Yet imagine that this supposed super nation is ranking among the lowest in the world on a global test for high schoolers, Getting beat by countries that were thought to be near third worldly when considering military, economy, and technology.  America ranks among the lowest out of 30 countries on a global test given to high school seniors. We do not want the leaders of other nations of the world thinking that America no longer has the capabilities or knowledge to be a superpower.

My solution to this problem to to simply take the stupidity out of the school systems. If we simply kill those students whose test scores and GPAs as of their Junior high years, are not adequate to for the global level of testing. I believe that if we simply give our student the opinion of death or better grades and study habits, they will make choices to better the future of our nation. This solution will not only help advance America as a world leader in academics but also help solves many problems that derive from poor study skills.

The First problem to be solved with this proposal is that America will now go back to being on top of the world when it comes to education and academics. Secondly, I believe America has an overpopulation of dumb people and if we kill those that are showing signs of dumbness at a young age, they will not be able to reproduce and continue to populate our nation with unintelligent people. Third, teachers will have it easier, due to fewer bad students. With only the good students that study well left in high school, teachers will be able to teach more in a stress free environment. Fourthly, There will be less bullying. With most bullies being less intelligent students picking on the “nerds” if you will, having only smart students left in high school will lead to a better environment for all involved.

Those that are not in favor of the killing of many of our citizens may say we can solve this problem with less radical solutions. Some may say it would be better to simply try and advance the education system and teach better study habits at younger ages. Some may say that if we can teach the things that are on the test we can do better, many schools around the world in other nations dedicate weeks to studying for these test and only these test. America could do this as well. Others think that a different school system would help more, if we go to school 6 days a week, all year round, and for as much as 12 hours a day, we could surpass all other countries in the world.
With America’s youth becoming less and less intelligent, a proactive change has to be made. With the proposal at hand, we could solve many of the nation's most pressing challenges. This would not only lead to a better America, but also a presence in the world that is only a fond memory for us. With simplifying distributing a test and killing those that do not pass, we will help insure that only the smartest children are representing our country. These are only my ideas but I for one, will not be improved by this, I have no children, I simply want what is best for the nation.

( note, this is only my version of a modest proposal and does not in any way show how I feel towards this problem.)
