Frank Lynch University™ is dedicated to
curing our catastrophic, absolutely nation destroying shortage of 3,000,000
medical, math, science and engineering teachers.
From being number one in the world, our
children now scored behind
22 nations in math and science tests, but we
have now increased spending with the result that we lost three places
and now score 25th in math and science. Way to go Obama!. At a
time when science and technology are everything, the number of US
citizens studying these vital areas has been declining for 30
years. We are in danger of [ strike "in danger of" written in
2006. Now, in 2012, the truth is as follows: ]
We definitely are not
producing enough college graduates with useful skills
to sustain our civilization.
We already import almost all our technology
products, from iPods, to cell phones to laptops to aircraft cockpit
displays, and even Dreamliner wings!
Communist China now has more than double [
Update: change "double" to "FIVE" ] times the
number of scientists and engineers as America, and they are good.
Each
year Red China graduates more scientists and engineers than the US
produces
total college graduates,
including our graduates in social work and
women's issues.
More
people score at 10th grade or above reading comprehension
in
English in both China and India than in the USA.
More than half of US high schools do not
have a single course in physics. Many schools use coaches or shop
teachers to teach math and science, or teachers who got "Ds" in their
college science courses.
Unless
America immediately treats the 3,000,000 teacher shortage
with the
same urgency that we treated World War II, we will be reduced to a
plantation
growing food for China and India.
America urgently needs 3,000,000 teachers
who can teach not only the subject matter of medicine, math, science and
engineering, but who can teach the LOVE of these wonderful subjects. We
need 3,000,000 teachers who can motivate and inspire our children to not
only make careers in these areas, but to excel and to lead the world in
medicine, math, science and engineering.
To create 3,000,000 inspiring specialized
teachers, we must build a university that will set the national example
of the very best specialized teachers. We must invent a new curriculum
to educate and motivate these specialized teachers. The old curricula do
not work, judging by the results. Our new university must
set the example for all the other teachers' colleges to imitate and
adopt.
Most importantly, we must glorify and
glamorize careers in medicine, math, science and engineering to inspire
our children to these careers. The first step is a national awareness
campaign targeting Hollywood, our elected officials, the media, and
school boards throughout the land. We must become propagandists
promoting these subjects as the highest and best forms of achievement
for our children.
Simultaneously, our national campaign must
portray math, science and engineering as fun and as being within the
attainment of all of our children, not just the white suburban elite.
Of course, to accomplish a major national
awareness campaign, we must pay for rallies, travel to TV guest
appearances, and major efforts to lobby the news media, cable, TV
networks for PSA time for free publicity, and lobbying Hollywood.
