Here is a clean, first-person, one-page Education policy page designed for a linked page on the campaign website. It matches the tone of the other one-pagers: calm, parental, practical, and focused on results—not ideology.
Education: Putting Families and Learning First
Our country deserves schools that support families—not confuse them.
Education should be about learning, curiosity, and preparation for life—not political ideology or one-size-fits-all mandates. Parents deserve a real voice in their children’s education, and that begins with full transparency about what is being taught in the classroom.
As a mother, I believe parents and caregivers know their children best—and schools should work with families, not around them.
Safe Schools for Every Child
School safety should never depend on a family’s zip code.
Congress can support common-sense, passive safety improvements that help protect students and teachers without disrupting learning, including:
- Secure entrances
- Improved lighting and visibility
- Shatter-resistant glass
- Locking classroom doors
Every child deserves a safe, supportive learning environment—no matter where they live.
Empowering Parents with Real Choice
Families are not all the same, and education should reflect that.
Parents and caregivers should have the freedom to choose the learning environment that works best for their children—whether that is public, charter, private, or homeschooling. The goal of education is a successful generation of young people equipped with real skills—not a checklist imposed from Washington.
Education works best when it respects individual students, families, and communities.
Building Confidence, Not Anxiety
Education should build confidence in children—not anxiety.
Too many schools have drifted away from creating a love of learning, which is essential for long-term success. Children need to move, play, explore, and learn—not just sit and test.
When schools stay focused on:
- Strong academic fundamentals
- Healthy habits
- Age-appropriate instruction
Students gain both the skills and the self-assurance they need to move forward.
Supporting Teachers and Restoring the Classroom
Teachers enter the profession because they love teaching—not paperwork.
Today, too much of their time is spent on compliance, unnecessary mandates, and meetings that pull them away from students. Cutting red tape gives teachers more time to plan, teach, and mentor—the work that truly matters.
We must also restore common-sense classroom discipline. Teachers know what works, and they should be included in decisions about curriculum, behavior policies, scheduling, and classroom structure.
Teaching is emotionally and physically demanding. Teachers deserve:
- Clean, well-funded, and safe classrooms
- Reasonable workloads
- Access to counseling and support
- Professional respect and trust
When teachers are supported, children thrive.
Preparing Students for Real-World Success
Not every student will—or should—follow the same path.
Preparing older students for adulthood means strengthening:
- Vocational and technical education
- Health and wellness training
- Partnerships with local employers
- Financial literacy
Every graduate should leave school with a clear path forward—ready for work, further education, or service.
Bringing Common Sense Back to Education
Education should bring out the best in our children—not overwhelm them.
By restoring parental involvement, supporting teachers, prioritizing safety, and focusing on learning over ideology, we can bring calm, confidence, and common sense back to our classrooms—and our country.
Voting for me is a vote for families, teachers, and students.
