I don't have any confidence in an administration that fails to recognize that basic reading, writing and arithmetic should be taught above all else because many students are not proficient in neither. Thats why I support school choice, because we can't rely on politicians to fix these problems. If you think that politicians are not addressing the issues that matter to you, then the definition of insanity is to keep voting for politicians that haven't improved conditions. Elections have consequences, so if you're satisfied with the direction our country is headed, then vote to keep the status quo. Everything starts at home and that means we need to have our priorities straight otherwise we only have ourselves to blame if we elect politicians that have made matters worse with failed policies.

It's ok, I am all for any comments and opinions. I am not afraid of the worst aspects of any one. In essence, it's the point of document.
