Hope he starts with the Michigan educational department it's costing everybody a 40% increase in their property taxes and that doesn't count lottery tickets gas taxes all going to educational that's the bloated balloon and if you think any of that comes back to us no it doesn't
He sounds good, however, schools of choice will create segregation, just like charter schools have. Those who have will get the best schools, those who have not will get the worst. STEM programs need to be offered starting in grade 3 in all districts, these are the skills your children will need in the 21st century and beyond. Reading, phonics, basic math need to be the main focus of the K-4. Add science (STEM) in third and carry it through grade 12. Kids need hands-on. Put recess back in school. K-2 as far as science and social studies need the world around them---where they live. Their address, phone number for emergencies, the local library, the post office, the fire department, the local police. They need to know what country, state, county, city they live in. They need to know how the president, governor and local mayor is. They don't need anymore than that. They need art, PE, music, and, movement. Sitting in reading for 2hrs a day is ludicrous and anyone who thinks differently is nuts. Starting in third and fourth grade you can branch out and study more social studies. What Michigan is doing to children now is so bad and wrong.
They need to be strong in literacy. Bring spelling, phonics & arithmetic back. And a half year of government in HS along with geography. And bring back those textbooks with homework as mandatory. Get them off with less time on a Chromebook.

From a retired from education, there’s so much waste in schools that don’t benefit children.
Sounds good. An Eagle Scout in 8th grade? That's a true go-get-'em attitude.
