Barack Obama surpassed Pres. Trump in oratory, but Pres. Trump is way ahead as a man of action.

I have been a public school teacher for thirty-one years, and teacher in a Montessori School for ten years.

The Charter schools will pass away. They are mom-and-pop shops that have no future.

They outdo any similar school system worldwide, and are a unique development of Western Civilization, of which America is part. Betsy DeVos’ voucher system would enable these schools to give our public schools the competition they need, even among themselves, and ensure the survival of two outstanding American developments.
