• Keep kids in high school until they are 18
• offer rewards and incentives for teacher effectiveness instead of seniority
• improve teacher quality by improving teacher preparation programs
• partner businesses with community colleges
• end tuition tax credits
• make college more affordable by keeping tuition rates the same and ending federal funding if the universities increase their tuition
• replace ineffective teachers
• Give schools flexibility instead of teaching to the test, creatively teach students to learn…(and how will this happen since there will still be a test?)
