Top Priorities if Elected |
- Reform the high school model so that it serves all students, not just those at the top.
- Assure a diploma means competence in reading, writing, and mathematics for every graduate.
- Link high school more closely with work, especially in the junior and senior years. Establish specialized academies with internships in business.

My October 27, 2000 guest editorial in the San Francisco Business Times on the mythic value and genuine high cost of the current teacher credentialing system. We need to upgrade teaching substantially, but we do that through substantial changes in training and hiring teachers.
