Have you ever been to a Public hospital?
We're actually going to fund them well, and we're hopefully going to be better at not sucking at everything than US government.
Do you have any thoughts on education?
- We should have a mostly public school system funded by taxes and provided to families free of charge for children ages 3-18, grades K through 12 plus preschool.
- A national standards board would create relatively high standards that all schools (public and private) must follow.
- Some private charter schools should be within the public system.
- School attendance should be mandatory between ages 5 and 17.
- Teachers employed at public schools should be payed based on the performance of their students.
- College at a public university should be provided free of charge to any student passing a certain (relatively low) threshold on a national standardized test, with smaller grants provided to students receiving lower scores.
