Phone free zones in all classrooms, enforced with locking boxes or pouches, and an arrangement with large AI companies to store all writing content produced for three months in order for schools to check against and mitigate plagiarism. We could subsidize some of that storage but I would encourage Jeff Bezos and so on to chip in. I would shake them down a little bit verbally.

This would stop most kids, particularly young ones. A college student who could make their own LLM thing is probably fine and smaller companies may produce lower quality work that's easier to spot.

The locked phones may cause anxiety about violence, like if something happens at the school, but we're going to reduce incidents like that as described in other sections, and institute something like an Amber Alert system so that news reaches everybody ASAP.

We're going to emphasize reading off of paper more, both in classrooms and with incentive programs similar to Book-It. We would also send out library card registration forms to every household the same way voter registration gets sent out.

We're also bringing back mandatory sewing, cooking, and shop/I.T./household and auto repairs for all students in cooperation with local community colleges and technical schools.

Massachusetts has also made community college free for adults over 25, we would do that nationally.

But the most important education policy to our campaign is school choice.

When you move into a neighborhood, you have to choose it for the schools, because unless you can afford private tuition, wherever you are, you get what you get. Students are locked into enrolling in schools that are in their geographical area. Property taxes fund these schools unequally, leading to poorer neighborhoods having worse schools, and parents are punished for trying to enroll their kids elsewhere.

We would open enrollment and even out the funding so that every kid has a chance. This wouldn't overfill them because they can still only take the same number of students, and any schools that were worse would be brought up to a better standard. It would give preference to kids who are local, but if a school has spots open, a parent shouldn't go to jail for trying to give their child better. That's school choice.
