According to the
video ALEC is pushing for congress for pass laws for college and university who
will accepts state funding to increase budget and tuition. This act is called
the College Funding Accountability Act. ALEC has lay out his statistic to state
senate and congress man to prove a point that his Act will improve most college
and university. This mean that all secondary school will also receive money to
support them and cost of living will be affordable through the nation. Another
major Act he pushes for is the Higher Education Scholarships for High School
Pupils Act, this act is to help any high school students who graduate early
from high school can able to get a scholarships to start college. But on the
other hand, they have to be able to pass all states tested in all subjects.
These are only some
of the laws he got passed by congress, he got many more law passed through
congress because he is one of the largest group legislation in the country. But
many of us do not know everything is funding by large corporation, who pays
fees to be a part of ALEC legislation. In other word, this mean that all the
people who is a part of this organization goes behind close door with
politician to vote and to change the law in the U.S by using our tax money to
make changes and receive all they credits. ALEC believes that everything he is
doing is a new gold age for the students.
To my
understanding, all these video is very shocking to see the way our school
system is controlling by politicians. That makes me feel that most of the
people who make the laws for the Board of Education, College and University
don’t have any knowledge as a regular teacher or professor. They just there making all these laws for
teachers, students and tax payers to follow because they have the money to fund
it. On the other hand, they just believe that they are doing the right thing
for our next generation. I personally not against ALEC groups because I am
already in the trap so I can’t do anything about it. I just have to go with the
flow along with my children. If ALEC believes that, this is something good he
is doing for the future children that not bad at all but his system cannot work
for the future I am guessing another big corporation will come up with new ideas
and laws. (MONEY RUN THINGS).
I am assuming that
all teacher don’t like the ALEC laws because if they don’t get the score up on
the standardized testing, regents or high graduation rate they will be scare of
getting fired or the school can be close down and they will have to be
unemployed or on food stamp and that can lead to terrible condition to their
career or family. Look for example, in the fourth video 6 people was arrested.
This mean that congress is not listed to the citizen. They just look into the
large corporation to make profits off the tax payers.
