hear most often, but it is often used without the full understanding of the implications. “Children are our future” means that children are our priority. Right now, we have some of the lowest test scores throughout the entire country, their test scores are 20 points below than the state average. That’s not making our children our priority.
Throughout the years, the average test scores have dropped dramatically. They’ve dropped more than 30 percent. I believe our children deserve a better education, I will ensure that our teaching staff is filled with individuals who strive for perfection rather than settling for what’s merely acceptable. And what better way to motivate our schools than to give them a more appropriate budget? More money invested in our schools means a lower student-to-teacher ratio, which means students will be getting the attention they need and will have a better chance of fulfilling their true potential.
