K-12 Education

Our children are our future. Educating our children is one of the most critical roles of the government. Here are some ways we can fix our schools:

Consolidate School Districts

Arizona has (207) public-school districts. Meaning we pay for (207) superintendents, (207) sets of district administrators, and (207) school boards. It stands to reason that if we whittled them down, we could save mightily on payroll, pensions, transportation, and administrative costs.

Back to Basics Curriculum

Free learning resources are everywhere. Meaning students who can read, write, and do math - can self-teach themselves any other topic they need to know. Schools need to stop teaching frivolous topics and focus on subjects that will build a solid foundation for lifelong learning.

Pay Teachers More

When Ron DeSantis (FL) threatened to cut the pay of administrators - making over $100K Salary- from just (30) school districts - it was estimated that the state would save $200 million dollars. Phasing out redundant district administrators will allow us to pay teachers way more.

Promote STEM

STEM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math education. It is an interdisciplinary approach that helps students succeed in college and in their future careers. The focus of a STEM education is hands-on, problem-based learning.

We are failing our children

We are dooming millions of children to a lifetime of poverty when we let our schools fail so badly.

University Industrial Complex

College is not what it used to be. Students are being pushed into a broken system that saddles them with debt, indoctrinates them with propaganda, and fails to prepare them with the skills they need to compete in the real world.

Reduce Bureaucracy

Implement minimum student-to-administrator ratios at publicly funded universities.

Legalize Bankruptcy

Reintroduce market reality to student loan economy. Allow student debt to be discharged in bankruptcy.

Minimum Teaching Hours

College professors must teach a minimum amount of hours per week. Limit delegation to aides.

Promote MOOCs

Promote "Massive Open Online Courses" as free alternative for students who want an education without a mountain of debt.

Limit International Slots

Wealthy international students take spots from Americans, and drive up costs. Implement caps on foreign exchange education.

Trade Schools

College isn't the right choice for everyone. Stop pressuring kids to see college as the only way. Promote sensible alternatives.

Curb Wasteful Spending

We waste astronomical amounts of money on bureaucracy in Washington DC. We could send every single state ~$1.6 Billion more for schools, and still have ~$20 billion left over to run the Department of Education.
