My campaign is well underway. Here are some of the issues.
All curriculum proposals must be approved by a general vote of teachers in a district.

I support the elimination of minimum grades; in some districts now set at "50"

Districts should be prohibited from implementing "give away" grade policies.

I support the elimination of all punitive measures against teachers resulting from poor student performance on all district and state mandated tests.

Students--by law--should be held to the highest learning standards. Students who refuse to complete assignments will receive a grade of "0" on the assignment.

All curriculum must be taught at grade level. "Dumbing down" curriculum should be strictly forbidden.

I have more to come. What do you think?
