You and I both agree that EDUCATION is important. I assume you are a retired teacher. First of all you likely confuse teacher's pay with teacher's compensation. The medical plan, the retirement plan the paid time off-including summers, is all part of THE TEACHER'S COMPENSATION.

Do you THINK there is a single teacher at the charter school that is both qualified and would want to be a member of Trump's cabinet?

I for one would not put up with criticism of MY FAMILY and criticism of everything I've ever done in my life-TRUE OR NOT.

RE: teachers and charter schools
We currently spend TWICE as much per student as the rest of the industrialized world. Last time I looked we score number 21. Trump constantly speaks about VALUE per dollar spent. Will charter schools end all of our problems-of course not. Call me racist-if you choose-I truly do not care. Just like what happened with busing, it caused a mass exit to the suburbs and to private schools to escape the HORRORS it created. With charter schools, the mass education system, controlled by the liberal progressive teacher's union will fail on it's own weight as the best students BLACK, WHITE, GREEN, PURPLE-run to get out of the mess the progressives have created. The best result of this will be the end of the mass, liberal controlled society back to a more DIVERSIFIED population.
We need to be sure our government is not allowed to only fund schools that teach THEIR acceptable dogma replacing one dictatorship with another.
