• Real Education Reform
    It's about providing a sensible, appropriate, accessible, RELEVANT education for ALL kids, regardless of socioeconomic background. You should care because testing kids to death and using test scores as a major determinant of teacher effectiveness is creating disenfranchisement in the youth and is causing good teachers to leave the profession.

  • Never Attack a Child’s Decisiveness
    Regarding the much debated issue of school choice, it's the children who should have a say in such choices. When the said choice is whether or not a child is to be sent to a private charter school, the charter school in question should offer all of the choices that the public school alternative would offer. Also, considering that chidren gain appreciation of various peers, they should not be denied the opportunity to make educational choices based on their appreciation of their peers. To allow the child to make his or her own choices is not to live his or her life for him or her.

  • Scholarships for Economic Security
    At this time our County needs over 50,000 doctors, computer engineers, and dye makers, we should not burden any 18 year old with debt. In our national interest, our government should grant full scholarships including a stipend income for any student who would practice in any of the aforementioned fields which would support an addition 40 US workers which equates to two million jobs.

  • Public loan forgiveness sooner than later
    In order to qualify for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program, one must make 120 on-time, full, scheduled, monthly payments on your Direct Loans. Only payments made after October 1, 2007, qualify. You must also must be working full-time at a qualifying public service organization. Well considering the state of our economy and the fact that many of us with outstanding student loans will not be affected by the proposed changes made by President Obama, why not cut this time in half by say 60 payments? This can help our economy recover quicker and give students the incentive to move into the public service sector.
