Education/Child Care

By Bill Quraishi

• Education spawns imagination.
• Imagination rules the world.
• It is the home where learning starts.
• It is the family where every thing begins.
• Family starts the society.
• Society builds the nation.

• Propose scholarships of $1500 a year for children in public schools that fail state testing for three years, with that money being used for private schooling, tutoring or whatever offers hope.
• Would reward states that improve schools with up to $500 million extra over five years.
• Would shift more money to charter schools in states where test scores don't improve.
• Would provide $3 billion in loan guarantees in two years to help build 2,000 charter schools.
• Raise from $500 to $5000 the amount of money a person can put in tax-free education savings accounts.
• Money to be withdrawn tax-free for expenses for K-12, not just college.
• Extra money for after school programs.
• Establish curriculum and extra money for vocational training.
• Strigent teacher testing.
• $1000 in tax credits for child care.
• Would forgive 60,000 college student loans.
• Reduce the class size to 20.
