Incentives for tuition, & retroactively for college loans
Q: Every American who studies hard in school should be able to go to college without going deeply into debt. For that, we need to work towards making tuition free at public colleges and universities throughout America, stopping the federal
government from making a profit on student loans. A: Agree.
Candidate's position on this issue: Incentives for tuition and low student loans rate should also be applied retroactively to those still paying off their student loans.

More requirements for teachers means fewer teachers
I did a “teaching internship” in a public school during college & discovered that I didn’t like teaching in the field in which I had majored, biology. I did, however, enjoy immensely teaching mathematics. But I was not “qualified” to teach that, because
I hadn’t taken enough college coursework. It didn’t matter that I was extremely good at teaching everything from algebra to calculus - as my employers at private schools often told me - unless I got another degree, I could never teach in the public
schools. After a couple years of trying to work around the system, I gave up. It’s not surprising when potential teachers are put off by onerous requirements. What is surprising is that politicians say in one sentence that they want both “more
qualified teachers” and “strict teacher certification.” Stricter rules will always mean fewer teachers. There should be only one rule: Is this person a good teacher in this subject? Implement that, and the ‘teacher shortage“ would be greatly diminished.
