UHND.com - Notre Dame Football, Basketball, & Recruiting

I believe we should recruit the best and brightest to teach in our schools, and that funding salaries and resources should be a top priority.

I believe schools should provide good meals, and serve as backstop to provide nutrition, dental and medical care, mentoring, and counseling to kids from poor and dysfunctional households.

I believe we should tap into the retired segment of communities to enlist volunteer mentoring, particularly after school. Ton of talent amongst the retired population who are more than willing to volunteer their time and talent.

School teachers are special Americans. With few exceptions, I believe they do their best to educate our children. Every teacher brings his/her life experiences into the classroom. That is all part of learning.
