Require schools to test students each year. No. Get rid of most forms of testing, limit the amount of homework (or ban it outright) that can be given, and in general stop treating students like products.
Allow schools to display God Bless America. Not sure what this means, but lean no.
Under God in Pledge of Allegiance. Stop reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.
Allow for voluntary school prayer, but not teacher led. Yes.
Make standards clear to the entire nation. Assuming that they are written by teachers, not bureaucrats, yes.
Teachers must be recertified every four years. No, this is an awful idea. Instead adopt national certification so that teachers can easily move from state to state with as few as possible problems.
Lower student to teacher ratio by building more charter schools. No, ban charter schools.
Allow parents to choose any school in their county with vouchers even private schools. No, ban vouchers and private schooling.
More funding for Black and Hispanic scholarships and grants. No. Allow every child to go to college or vocational school free of charge.
Keep schools repaired and renovated. Duh.
Keep decisions in the hands of parents and teachers and not bureaucrats. Give teachers the most leeway, but as a general rule, yes.
Parents and teachers know how their kids are doing better than politicians in Washington D.C. Teachers certainly do, not so sure about parents, but that can be changed if you change the climate of education itself and encourage more parents to get involved.
Use tax money for entrepreneurial private schools. No, ban private schools.
Allow for school vouchers in Washington D.C. No, ban voucher programs, homeschooling, private schools, and charter schools.
Encourage local governments to fund after school programs along with federal and state. Local governments will never do this, nor will state governments, so throw federal funding behind it.
Intelligent design belongs in religion class, not science. Word.
Provide school breakfasts for low income students.  Provide school breakfast to all students.
