REFORM EDUCATION
Returning the oversight of Education to the state and local level not only eliminates money from the federal budget, it also gives the power back to the local governing authorities and enables the teachers themselves to have more control in the classroom.
Teachers today are severely limited due to constraints to achieve to a certain standard as well as prevented from allowing creativity in the classroom. Children are held to strict standards and not allowed to learn in a way that expands their creativity and their imagination. The basics are no longer taught, but they are limited to systems and structures driven by strict governmental standards.
