Education from a Manufacturing Perspective: A Prek-12 Education Strategy
By Edsel Shejen
()
About this ebook
Edsel Shejen went to trade school and spent thirty-six years in manufacturing.
Four metrics were drilled into his head: Safety, quality, schedule, and cost. The mantra was to safely produce a quality product—on time and at the lowest cost.
After these metrics were established, the departments within the shop used established problem-solving systems such as lean manufacturing, Deming principles, quality circles, and other methods to identify problems, determine causes, and implement solutions that gave the greatest impact for the least cost.
In this book, the author takes the problem-solving skills he learned on the job and applies them to education to conduct an audit on the school system in his area. The audit includes a review of district and school websites, interviews with former students and parents, a review of meeting minutes, and more.
Each chapter establishes a step-by-step process to review the business plan of the school district in your community.
Join the author as he shares ways to identify problems in any education system—as well as solutions to help teachers teach and students learn.

PREFACE
A close friend of mine received a call one day from her son’s school saying that he was having some behavioral issues in class. The principal asked if she would come down to the school and sit in on some of his instruction time to see what was happening and maybe help develop a strategy to bring his behavior under control.
After sitting in one full day of classes my friend noticed that her son was talking to his classmates once his work was complete. When this happened, the teacher demanded he turn to the front, fold his hands and be quiet until the other students were finished
.
At the end of that day the principal called the boy’s mother into the office and asked if she saw what was happening and if she had any suggestions about how to improve her son’s behavior in class.
My friend responded yes, give him more work to do.
The principal, very surprised, said We’re not talking about his schoolwork; we’re talking about his behavior.
She said, So am I, and you’re not keeping him engaged.
The principal became indignant and proclaimed; We can’t do special things for your special child
.
To which my friend upped the game a bit more and said; You’re an A—hole. I can do a better job and I don’t have millions of dollars in my budget.
and that was the beginning of her son’s homeschooling.
At around that same time, my nephew had just completed his first year of college and when I went to congratulate him I asked;
