Bart Baron on Education Republican Senate Challenger

Rethink elementary & secondary education

1. We must insist that all high schools, nationally, adopt a core course program
2. We must consider a program similar to the New York State Regents Exams
3. We must find a way to utilize retired subject matter experts as teachers
4. We must provide a safe environment
5. We must test teachers as to subject matter knowledge in classes that they teach
6. We must revise the ratio of administrative positions to full-time teacher positions. Source: Campaign website, www.bartbaron.com, "Issues" Mar 9, 2008
