The Need for Competition in Schools
by Jay Dubya 
Cooperation is emphasized in American public schools while competition is
generally discouraged. Competition is even being downplayed among the most
gifted students because educational psychology maintains that competition breeds
selfish arrogant adults that only care about themselves and not about the needs
of the less fortunate. Everyone involved in education has to get back to the
idea that competition is a worthwhile pursuit that is consistent with our great
free enterprise system of economics. That is why it is so important that public
school philosophy pragmatically follows the free enterprise economic model
rather than the current ineffective political democracy model of education that
squanders billions of dollars annually.
Industry is keenly aware of the need for competition as the true instrument of
societal prosperity and personal improvement. Surely Nissan and Toyota have
forced General Motors and Ford to manufacture better cars or else go the way of
the dinosaur. But our schools just don't get it! Rivalry is the key to
individual self-sufficiency and to corporate progress everywhere in America
except in our public schools.
