For starters I would make it clear that if a PACT parent has a document guaranteeing a college education for their kids the state will honor that commitment. Otherwise, they may either stay in the system as is or withdrawal the funds they put in tax free.
I would remove the required AEA payroll deduction from paychecks of teachers. All teachers can opt out of the union with no consequences. This would remove the stranglehold Paul Hubbert has on our educational institutions.
I also believe that we should stop taking money out of the State's Education Trust Fund for any readon. I pledge to never vote yes to remove money from a steady source for funding for Alabama's children.
I support school vouchers for all parents in the form of 75% of the total cost per pupil but no more than 75% of the cost of the private school. This is one of the first things I will focus on when I am sent to Montgomery.

ReplyDeleteWhy a maximum of 75%? If the public indoctrination system costs $4,500 a head per year and a parent can place a child in a beter charter, Christian, private, (whatever) school for $4,000 a year, why would you cap them at $3,000? The state is still saving $500 per annum.
As for AEA, NEA, and unions, unfortunately, even state laws would not mitigate the stranglehold unions have on pedagogy. Unions, like most racketeers, force people to join. It's like Capone's old "pay me for protection or suffer the consequences" scheme. It will be even worse if comrade Obama gets his bill through, allowing unions to outright intimidate people by forcing them to vote in public.
