Jon England's Articles

Here's why homework, especially in elementary schools, is a tyrannical burden on your family.
We don’t need federal bureaucrats telling us what to do, especially when it comes to our children’s education. Instead, we need to push for local control.
Students should explore their options more before committing to four years and thousands of dollars worth of debt. You may decide that college is what you need. But there are ways to do it quickly and cheaply, and other viable alternative paths.
These entrepreneurial education entities are blossoming around the country. But what are they, and why are they so helpful?
How do we hold businesses who treat us poorly accountable? We may refuse to do business with them, write a negative review online, or let everyone know not to do business with that company. In essence, we vote with our pocketbooks and our feet.
Schools should offer more hands-on vocational programs, as the current college-focused education system fails to engage many students who prefer practical, on-the-job training.
