That reminds me of another question I would ask him:

What do you think of the idea to rid the public education system of rampant nepotism by replacing hiring systems with a civil service-type system which is already in place in the fifty states? Not that it would be perfect, but it would be far better than the hereditary title system we have in public education.

More:

How would you feel if we had true reciprocity of teacher licensure in all fifty states instead of this idiotic system wherein teachers, regardless of experience, have to spend money out of their own pockets to take stupid tests and pay for licenses in every stinking state? In other words, if you are licensed in one state in a subject area, that license is good in all fifty states.

Do you support portability of defined benefit pensions for teachers, so they are able to relocate to different states when the need arises without them having to start all over again on new pensions?

What do you think of the idea of granting tenure to ALL teachers from the first day of hire so that principals and other administrators can't shitcan teachers who are currently "at-will" employees in order to save money on retirement vesting and other benefits?

What do you think of the idea of requiring ALL termination hearings being open to the public and to the media so as to reduce the incidence of wrongful dismissals and rigged hearings?
