Bush and Rubio (former Florida governor and current Florida senator) agree that education curriculum should be created and managed at the state and local levels.
They both say educational standards need to be high and if states want to opt out of Common Core, they should be able to do so if their standards are high.
Bush says he upped the graduation of impoverished school children by 50% as Florida governor. He thinks fighting the teachers' union is part of what needs to be done to improve educational quality. He also thinks America will never be able to compete with other countries if "dumbing down" continues and we don't get above 30% of high school graduates being "college ready".
