Many come to America because they believe that hard work should be rewarded. Parents want their children to succeed. Parents encourage their children to be diligent students. Parents make sure their homework is completed. Parents are the taxpayers who are funding public schools.
​
Parents are the most important stakeholders in the education system. Their voices should be listened to when making curriculum decisions. Parents should be respected for advocating for better conditions for their students.
​
Resources must be focused on the curriculum that will make American students stronger and more competitive than their counterparts overseas. Education policy needs to focus on the skills needed for our students to be competitive in the world. They need to excel in mathematics, science, language and history. Their time should not be burdened with the latest political fad.
No one should be penalized for hard work. Wes Hallman was against Proposition 16.
