Savannah, GA - In a 2024 article, the Pew Research Center states that “About half of U.S. adults (51%) say the country’s public K-12 education system is generally going in the wrong direction,” with the majority of the 51% saying schools are not spending enough time on core subjects. Retired elementary school principal Dr. Clifford King respectfully disagrees. “We are getting so caught up in academia that we are bypassing or forgetting how to teach children. Too much emphasis is placed on reading, writing, and arithmetic, regardless what form they come in, to the point where key issues in life are being put on the back burner. Once students leave school, the world expects them to know how to do certain things. And not only know how to do them, know how to do them well. Some students will succeed, and some won’t. The bottom line is that we are not sure how many students will go to on to college and become professionals. For the most part, students will likely go directly into the workforce which means they need to know basic job skills, how to get along with coworkers, how to be respectful toward bosses, how to manage money—that kind of thing.” As well as serving as an educator and principal, Dr. King is active in his church and community, helping to feed the hungry and homeless with his church’s food bank. “It’s amazing how many underserved people are out there. We normally serve food the second and third Wednesday of each month. And it has worked very well so far. Our church assists in whatever ways we can—whether it’s financially, academically, or whatever,” shares Dr. King. “We are hoping to start a new food bank, I already have the application.” For more information about Dr. Clifford King, please email chrisking@aol.com
