DENNIS KUCINICH
Education
Kucinich believes schools need to emphasize creative and critical thinking over test-preparation. He would dramatically increase funding to reduce class sizes, increase teacher salaries, renovate buildings and expand pre-school and after-school programs. He proposes reducing the costs of college, although he hasn't provided details, and also to provide job training for students who aren't college bound.
