Issue Position: Education

Issue Position

Education is the cornerstone for our future. I believe that the best way to improve our schools is to give teachers the freedom to teach and invest in the lives of their students. Many of the challenges that we face in education are driven by bureaucrats who find their value in chasing statistics rather than giving teachers the tools that they need to succeed. My wife Laura has been teaching for 22 years and I can tell you from personal experience that no one works harder than our teachers. It is crucial for us to have an Oklahoma solution to education because we demand more from ourselves. I believe that strong, Oklahoma standards will drive us into the future and set our children apart from the next generation.
