<p>What I think about affirmative action is that it is the wrong “solution” for a problem too big. They are just putting a band aid on a wound too big. The band aid won’t do any good. What needs to happen is putting on some antibiotics and stitching up the wound. I first suggest reforming the school, actually more like rebuilding it from the ground up. A council controlled system where all the money is distributed equally among the schools. Where the council is made up of representatives from every state. Drop affirmative action and have the system walk all the students from Kindergarten to college. Veer away from tests and focus more on results. Results such as more activity based projects. For example: every class revolves around a student’s “year” project where they learn along the way and add it to the main project while having smaller projects in the middle. I believe that reflects more of the real world than tests and homework. For English, that project might be a novel and short stories for younger students. For Math, actually explain its role in science and other disciplines and incorporate that into other subjects. Science must include engineering style projects. </p>
<p>In other words: affirmative action creates more problems than it fixes. If you want racism to go away, just stop talking about the races…</p>
