One of my wife’s 6th grade students didn’t eat lunch today because there was an issue with their account and they didn’t want to be seen eating the cheese sandwich that is given to students without funds in their lunch account. This is the America we live in.

Additionally, I support removing onerous regulations that keep good teachers from being able to teach, not a complete removal. I’ll give two examples: My wife is a teacher. A pretty good one in fact. When we moved to Illinois it was virtually impossible to transfer her license.
That nearly kept an excellent, well-trained teacher out of the classroom. The second example is about me. I have a PhD in Psychology and have taught for more than a decade. That includes dual-credit courses for HS students where I was physically located on the HS campus.

The students received HS credit for this. This was all fine because I was paid by a community college. Because of the current regulations, had I wanted to become an AP Psychology teacher and teach the same material at a HS, I would have had to go back to school.

These are the kinds of things I don’t want to see. Good teachers who are unable to teach because of regulations that do not protect our students. I think that we can allow these individuals to teach and still maintain rigorous standards.
