1. At 8:15, for any kid beyond the 3rd grade....a 1.5 mile run (accomplished in 20 minutes) and forty sit-ups. This would not be considered P-E....just plain regular AM fitness training....P-E would take place after lunch.
2. One paperback classic book (had to be printed before 1960) to be handed out each month, and read by the last day of the month....then a five-question test to given. Failure to get three or more questions right? You come in on Saturdays for a month and fill 100 sandbags each occasion.
3. Drug-test all teachers at least three times a year.
4. At the conclusion of the 10th grade, offer a chance to 'test-out' and graduate (getting two full years of local community college/technical school free of charge).
5. Any kid disrupting a class or starting a fight....mandatory drug-test, and if 'positive'....excused from school for remainder of the year....then starting over.
6. If a student launches into some protest episode....define the kid as a insurrectionist and dismiss him from the school.
7. No cellphone past the front door of the school, for teachers or students. Offer up a locker and allow access during break or lunch.
8. Mandatory repair class for 8th grade students on washers, dryer, lawnmowers, and basic plumbing.
9. Mandatory read of '1984', 'Animal Farm' by the 7th grade.
10. Test out teachers every two years on basic knowledge of what they teach. If they can't pass....one year to improve or you release them from the contract.
