Remove Common Core and return to the classical education model of Phonics and Mathematics instruction that made American students the best in the world when I was a child (we now rank 22 out of 23 developed countries).

It is equally important to engage parents in the education of their children. It has been shown that kids perform better in school if their parents are engaged in the learning process. I intend to assist parents and teachers to re-establish a strong Parent Teacher Association so that parents and teachers can again work together for the success of our children.[3][4] |
