Gary Hart: “Unfortunately, yes. And I think a lot of us have sort of two different opinions of people involved in the education…”

“Unfortunately, yes. And I think a lot of us have sort of two different opinions of people involved in the education system. We all know that there are some fantastic educators out there. Some of them we would count probably as our best friends, spouses, family. But there is also this behemoth structure of sort of protecting the bureaucracy folks, and that is a big problem. Obviously, they have gotten involved in a lot of races, and I am sure they have been involved in the gentleman's as well as they have been involved in mine. The concern I hear from parents has nothing to do with preservation of the education bureaucracy. I never hear them saying, oh, please, can you make sure we still have this very strong bureaucracy in my school district so that we spend more money on the administration than in the classroom. No one ever asks me that. They always say how can we get more dollars to go to directly help the kids. Well, let us get that bureaucracy to work with us on that goal, and then we will all be on the same page.”
