Common core
- Excerpt: "My children will not go to a school that teaches Common Core curriculum. Having taught in a school with Common Core curriculum – trust me, you don’t want it. They have already come out and said the math standards are horrible (and) they do not train people for the science, technology, engineering and mathematical careers that we want our state’s children to be trained in. It is something we need to modify.”
Education
- Excerpt: "One-size-fits-all schools do not work. We need to move to a system where we support a child going to a school where they can be successful."
