      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.

      Found this on my door & was nearly sold, but you support no federal curriculum regs and reducing teacher cert regs. I went to a rural Tx school w/ uncertified teachers who taught us bs like the civil war wasn't about slavery. How will you protect facts if you localize education?pic.twitter.com/DR80ofxLUd

      Glad you asked. I do support regulations to protect the accuracy of the curriculum that is being taught. What I do not support is federal mandates on state testing and tying test scores to teacher raises. It is stressful for the students, parents, and teachers and does not work.

      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.

          Actually that's exactly what I was hoping to hear. Thanks for taking the time to answer!
