11. To stop promising to fix education every election cycle and actually fix it.

Create a higher standard of learning across the board. Then promise to continue to support and improve areas of education that need attention…. based on an already "fixed" and higher form of education from then on.

That goes for any cyclical political promises that the people are supportive of. Or those that benefit the most and have lasting benefits.

They need to be achieved then supported and not allowed to fail in any largely significant way. The lowest bar needs to be raised higher.
