Ron Johnson: We Need Good Teachers and Good Technology

Statement

While Ron looks to lower costs of higher education, Senator Feingold revealed to have made nearly $8,000 per class at Stanford

Ron Johnson today talked about the need for both good teachers and greater use of technology to educate our students and bring down the cost of higher education -- while Senator Feingold shows he's part of the problem, earning nearly $8,000 per class as a high-paid lecturer while claiming to care about students.

Check out what Ron had to say about this to reporters today at Nucor Cold Finish in Oak Creek, as well as what the media is reporting about Senator Feingold's hypocrisy:

"You have an explosion in cost, which allows a university like Stanford to pay a guest lecturer like Senator Feingold $8,000 per lecture. …

If you've got a fabulous lecturer on any subject, put that person on video tape and replay it. That's the whole advantage of things like massive online open courses. You don't need individual professors for everything when you find an excellent professor.

Put them on video tape and let that individual be the lecturer for a host of other people.

And then let other teachers, other professors go off of that and expand on that. It could just so dramatically improve quality of education while you're lowering the price."
