What you so optimistically call a 'plan' seems at this point little more than a suggestion of throwing $$$ at the problem.

It is just like his call to renew our space exploration. He comes up with all these pie in the sky ideas, but has no plans how to get them paid for or implemented.

You have to start with a vision, and ideas first before you can get to implementation.

I am absolutely in favor of publicly-funded education, which is not fundamentally anathema to choice.

He is relying on Burnie for bipartisan support and show how it can be done for free.

I have a vision.......I want to be 21 again and 6'2". Doesn't mean it is a realistic vision.

Yep. Trump's MO is to spout his nonsense and then go golfing, expecting other people to magically get things done. That's neither leadership nor vision.

Get rid of the unions, and the education problems will be solved.
There aren't many societal problems which could be largely solved by a single action -- but this step is an obvious exception to the rule: public employee unionism needs to be reformed, and its power drastically curbed, if not outlawed entirely .

Indoctrination not education is becoming the norm in public schools. If we agree on that then whatever develops as an alternative is worthy of support.
