I am entering the race for governor of the State of Vermont. I have borrowed my campaign slogan from Vince Lombardi, the great coach of the Green Bay Packers. America is facing a crisis of enormous dimensions. Our public school system has failed us.
Desperate times require desperate measures.
The difficulty resides in the faulty assumption that teachers have to be taught how to teach. No two teachers teach the same way, and we can thank God for that. For example, if he is a mathematics instructor, he should have a solid background in mathematics, and it should not matter how he acquired that background. We are degree-happy in this country, and that too must change. Some of the dumbest people I know have the same degree I have, and some of the most brilliant people I know have no degrees whatsoever.
