Thank you. I know the voucher idea is controversial, but the unionization of teaching has not improved test scores in California and it cannot all be blamed on either lack of money or non-English speakers dragging down the scores. Many of the home schoolers kick the public kids butts in tests because they can learn at their own pace and a lot of the PC crap does not translate into better jobs or job skills. I would also like to see trade schools. Not everyone has use for a college education. By the way, I did go to public school, but my son does not because I want him to get an education that will serve him well.

I would like to see employers who hire illegals fined and the fines used to improve the immigration process. I have heard people call in to talk show to say that they have been on waiting lists trying to legally immigrate for years! Knowing the feds, I can believe they would make this process tedious and have so many check and balance levels that would slow it down to a snail’s pace. We do need immigrants at all levels to bring their skills and energy to keep this country growing and the government could be doing a better job to screen those people in a timely manner.
