Among issues, Nevada’s educational problems require logical solutions, not full-day kindergarten
Randi explains the Republican position of saying “no” to Democrats’ expensive and ineffective education plans:
“While the Democrats focus on full-day kindergarten as the answer to our educational woes, Republicans wonder why they aren’t addressing this staggering statistic: Last year, 30 percent of students who started high school in Nevada didn’t finish. (The number was 50 percent for minorities.) To increase graduation rates, Republicans know that we need more vocational and technical education, better truancy intervention and more challenging courses.”
