EDUCATION
"No child left behind has proved to be a failure. A one size fits all approach from the top down will never work. As long as our teachers must "teach the test" to ensure that funding continues to flow, they will be forever barred from having the freedom to teach their students in an individual manner that will provide true education to those wanting to learn.
The role of the Federal government should be to fund education through a block grant system that allows individual districts to teach in a manner that bests suits their local students. The cream will rise to the top, and Mississippi can finally move off the bottom by tailoring our local education systems into the very best they can be by flexibility and freedom"

"We must put the one size fits all ,Washington knows best and will save us mentality in the dust bin of failed ideas. The funds to aid local school districts across the Third District of MS and all of the US are easily found by eliminating the Federal Department of Education as a cabinet level position and restructuring the monitoring of America's schools under the Department of the Interior.
By redirecting those funds saved to the states based on a per student formula in block grant form will help fund the only true education which is found only at the local level throughout our great country.
No one knows more about the children they teach than that individual teacher in the classroom who looks that particular student in the eye everyday. The money needs to be spent to help these caring individuals instead of funding a bloated bureaucracy."
"Don't teach the test, teach the child.
No child left behind while a good concept has proved unworkable and has tied the hands of our dedicated educators. An unfunded mandate from Washington should not dictate the education methods for Mississippi. That's for OUR teachers to decide."
