BE A DELAY. DAVID: HIRE WITH MORE IS
DAVID: HIRE WITH MORE IS
DARLA RENFRO.
DARLA GREAT TO SEE YOU, YOU
ARE STILL DOING GREAT WORK,
THE FOCUS OH, QUITY OVER
EXCELLENCE -- ON EQUITY OVER
EXCELLENCE IS KILLING US,
THE PARENTS, KIDS AND THEIR
PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE AND
KILLING OUR COUNTRY, IF WE
DEAN PURSUE EXCELLENCE -- IF
WE DON’T PERSUE EXCELLENCE
THAT IS MEDIOCRATE.
>> CORRECT.
IT IS INTERESTING TO SEE
THAT SOME POLITICIANS LIKE
GOVERNOR YOUNGKIN ARE
RESPONDING, BUT WE’RE HAVE A
SIDESEISMIC SHIFT IN K-12
EDUCATION, PARENTS ARE
DEMANDING DIFFERENT CHOICES
FOR THEIR CHILDREN, 40 YEARS
AGO, YOU COULDN’T HOME
SCHOOL HERE, NOW WE HAVE
AFTER 5.4 MILLION CHILDREN
THAT ARE HOME SCHOOLED.
WE HAVE OVER 7 MILLION
CHILDREN IN PRIVATE SCHOOLS,
WE HAVE OVER 6 MILLION IN
CHARTER SCHOOLS, IN STATES
THAT DON’T HAVE SCHOOL
CHOICE, PARENTING PARENTS
ARE EXERCISING CHOICE, THE
MOMS AND DADS ARE A POWERFUL
SPIT CONSTITUENCY, WE KNOW
LEGAL IMPEDIMENT TO SCHOOL
CHOICE HAVE BEEN BY WAY SIDE
THERE ARE CONSTITUENT
POLITICAL I’M I’M PED
MEANTS, I HOPE THAT ALL
PARENTS THEY WILL BE A
POWERFUL CONSTITUENCY,
HOPEFULLY THEY WILL BE MORE
POWERFUL THAN FORCES AGAINST
CHOICE.
AS LONG AS WE KEEP FUNDING
SEMP AND NOT SYSTEMS AND NOT
FUNDING CHILDREN WE’LL STILL
HAVE THE PROBLEMS.
>> THE SYSTEMS VERY OFTEN
ARE CORRUPTED.
LOOKING AT TEACHER UNION THE
DAMAGE THEY HAVE DONE AND
MONEY THEY HAVE BEEN
RECEIVING, TEST SCORES KEEP
GOING IN THE WRONG
DIRECTION, THAT IDEOLOGY
DOESIOT WORK, ISN’T IT BLAINE.
>>PLANT.PLAIN.
>> WE SPEND CLOSE TO A
TRILLION A YEAR ON
EDUCATION, WE ARE STRUGGLING
WITH BASIC LITERACY, THAT
SHOULD STOP PEOPLE IN THEIR
TRACKS, I AM THANKFUL
PARENTS ARE AWAKE, THEY ARE
NOT WOKE, THEY ARE VOTING
WITH THEIR FEET IN STATE
LIKE FLORIDA, OVER 50% OF
PARENTS ARE GOING TO A
SCHOOL OF CHOICE, YOU START
AND YOU HAVE ROBUST SCHOOL
CHOICE NOW ARE IN 20 YEARS,
YOU SEE NEW ENTREPRENEURS
COME FORWARD, THEY ARE DOING
THINGS YOU HEARD OF MICRO
SCHOOLS AND PODS, WE’LL SEE
AN UNBUNDLES OF EDUCATION, I
HEARD AN ACADEMIC SAY IN 20
YEARS, A LEST A LOT OF THE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS WILL BE
SENIOR IS THE CITIZEN
CENTERS.
>> IN MEANTIME, YOU STILL
HAVE THE FOLKS WHO ARE
BEHOLDEN TO THE UNIONS, TO
THIS IDEOLOGY THAT DOESN’T
WORK.
THE GOVERNOR OF NEVADA, JUST
SURVIVED A REELECTION BID,
SHE IS NOW ATTACKING CHARTER
SCHOOLS, TRYING TO THROW
CHARTER SCHOOLS UNDER THE
SCHOOL BUS.
>> YEAH, GOVERNOR OF
ARIZONA, NEWLY ELECTED
GOVERNOR.
DAVID: YES, ARIZONA.
>> YOU HAVE TO ASK WHAT IS
SHE REALLY THINKS THIS IS
WILDLY POPULAR WITH
FAMILIES.
67% OF VOTERS.
77% OF PARENTS ARE FOR IT,
YOU HAVE TO ASK, WHY YOU ARE
AGAINST THIS.
HOPEFULLY, YOU HAVE 45
THOUSAND PEOPLE, THEN ALL
PARENTS AROUND THEM, THAT
SAY POWERFUL CONSTITUENCY.
AT SOME POINT, DON’T YOU
HAVE TO LISTEN TO THE VOTERS
AND PEOPLE?
DAVID: AT SOME POINT, THEY
DO.
AND WE MENTIONED QUOFER
GOVERNOR YOUNGKIN.
A CLIP OF HIM ON FOX NEWS.
>> I’M SENDING LEGISLATION
TO OUR GENERAL ASSEMBLY
TODAY TO MAKE THIS MANDATORY
THAT SCHOOLS NOTIFY PARENTS
AND STUDENTS OF AWARDS,
RECOGNITIONS AND SCHOLARSHIP
OPPORTUNITIES AS SOON AS
THEY KNOW.
>> DARLA, IS THAT VOICE THE
LOUDEST VOICE IN THE ROOM
NOW?
THE ONE THAT IS HEARD THE
MOST?
>> WELL, IT IS REALLY
IMPORTANT WHEN HE IS DOING,
BUT LIKE PUTTING YOUR FINGER
IN ONE HOLE IN THE DIKE, YOU
HAVE STILL NOT COMPLETELY
EMPOWERED PARENTS.
A LOT OF PARENTS STILL WANT
TO GO TO THAT PARTICULAR
SCHOOL THEY PRODUCE GREAT
RESULTS.
BUT, IT COMES BACK TO A
PROBLEM WITH THE SYSTEM.
THE SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING
WELL, HE IS A GUY THAT
RECOGNIZES IT.
HE IS TRYING TO TO SOMETHING
ABOUT IT.
WE HAVE TO DO IT
DIFFERENTLY, PARENTS ARE
FIRST EDUCATORS OF CHILDREN.
TRUTH WINS OUT IN THE END OF
