Friends! Countrymen! The solutions are legibly here for one and all on issues generally considered important. Posted individually and subject to future improving modification, they will be brought together in a new category named The Final Solution. Let us make haste, for diversion and Sophists have ruled the day—until now. Let the superciliousness begin!

Education: The Final Solution 

1. Local and federal government will require all schools in the U.S. to be completely overhauled to ensure teaching that what is “good” and “what is right to do” and "how to live rightly" is a good or right in itself. This will be the basis of a "Values Based Learning" schooling system to be taught as the better and more proper direction for learning and living one's life. The writings of well known thinkers such as the Stoics, Greek philosophers, Christian philosophers, and others of the philosophy of moral universalism should serve as a start to understanding and teaching this system. On the local level, citizens of the community should be requested frequently to share their experiences in promoting moral universalism.
    
2. Grammar, high schools, and universities will require a class teaching moral universalism to be taken concurrently with any course work. This class will apply philosophical exploration, principles of understanding, and direct moral guidance upon the question of how one should live one's life with Socrates' "The unexamined life is not worth living" quote as a backdrop. All teachers throughout the curriculum will be thoroughly familiar with "Values Based Learning" and integrate, not separate, this way of teaching into their curriculum. Family values as a man and woman respectfully together will be specifically promoted, and divorce, one-night stands, homosexuality, and sexual disrespect will be discouraged.
    
3. Students must be taught to think for themselves and understand a principle or action because they know it to be true, not because the teacher told them so. Rote, trivial pursuit type learning will be minimized in favor of layered reasoning that grasps the principles behind facts.
    
4. Techniques of argument, or how to make sense with what you say, will be taught to maintain clarity in all forms of communication. Argument as a method of back and forth dialog for the purpose of coming to agreement will be utilized. Challenge and improvement will be applied to student individual expression.
    
5. Student learning will progress from the student's perspective while guided by the teacher. Discussion, writing, and tests will emphasize the student's ideas, experiences, and knowledge with objective learning. Traditionally objective classes such as math and science can include the student in this way by discussing everyday application and requiring personalized assignments.
    
6. Schools will be downsized, preferably to between 100-300 students to allow a more friendly and close knit interaction between parents and student, teacher and student, parents and teacher, and community and school. Learning structures will be architecturally, comfortably, and humanely designed to facilitate the higher aspirations of learning.
     
7. Being outdoors, at play, and learning about nature will be integral to the learning process and the student's concept of self and community. School architecture, site planning, and landscaping will be radically rethought to more connect the student with her natural surroundings. For example, building a school along a river or within a forest, tending vegetable gardens, tree identification walks, and recycling projects are a basic start to this. Reducing, Reusing, and Recycling (3R) will be an integral part of the curriculum.
    
8. In order to maintain a learning atmosphere instead of a fashion show, a general dress code such as pants, brown or black leather shoes, and a dress shirt and tie will be required for grammar and high school. Dress codes for girls should specifically correct any tendency of sexualizing styles and ways of wearing clothing. Skirts, for example, should be at or below knee. Students will be encouraged to take pride in their neat and trim appearance, healthiness, and cleanliness. Overweight students will be assisted in losing weight, and being overweight will not be taught as acceptable or healthy. Food served by the school will consist of healthy food with increased vegetable and fruit servings and lessened sugars and fats. No sodas or other unhealthy drinks will be allowed. Desserts may be provided in limited portions and no vending machines with sugary/fatty items will be allowed.
    
9. Students will not be regarded as a cog in the machinery and teacher attentions should be placed on the uniqueness and creative potential of each particular child. For example, if a child shows interest in astronomy, business, or sculpture, this should be encouraged and developed, along with the learning of the standard curriculum. In addition, agricultural work, factory work, restaurant work, and other vocational work will be promoted and encouraged as academic professions jobs will be.
    
10. Real life involvement together with book knowledge will be taught by the various curricula. Class trips to see the rock strata, discussing with the manager how the pricing works at the food store, taking a tour of Thomas Jefferson's home, and discovering the many facets of the local community are necessary to involve the student meaningfully with the curriculum knowledge they are learning. Basic life skills will be taught to students to guide them in becoming functioning social adults, such as money management, simple cookery and even conversation. In regards to money management, the responsible handling of money will be taught such as writing a check, starting a bank account, employment ideas, and how to spend money rightly, efficiently, and for a good purpose.
