3. Don't reduce our students to profit centers.

I've said it for years, "When students become profit centers, there will no longer be an education system." With public education, the employees are concerned about one thing: Educating children. Although lately it has been more jumping through hoops that legislators have put into place, THEN educating children.

But for-profit schools only care about profit, not educating children. They will extract the maximum amount of money while providing the minimum amount of services. The ones who will suffer are our children and the future of America. The ones who will benefit, in the short term, are the C-levels and investors.

5. I wonder how to supplement our children who are being taught to test instead of learn?
