Robert Steele on Education

Teachers should be well paid and paid for performance

• A Nation's best defense is an educated citizenry--we've blown it
• Elevate education to the top priority at all levels, with teachers well paid and pay for performance
• End the reliance of education on real estate taxes where local elites cheat the public
• Strip two thirds of the secret intelligence budget and apply to quality free education & research

Supports teacher-led prayer in public schools

A: Support. No society has ever held together without a strong religious under-pinning. This is a matter best left to states, and within states, to individual school districts responsive to their community.

Opposes school vouchers

A: Oppose. When examined carefully, vouchers turn out to be a tax break for the well-off and do not impact on schools. The federal education system is completely out of control and corrupt. Teachers need to be brought into a new class of public servant that is properly paid, with pay tied to results.
