The 2020 Democrat presidential hopeful called for a "revolution in education," including teacher salaries that start at $60,000 a year.
"Number two, my goal -- it's a radical goal, but this is what I believe -- my goal is to make sure that within a few years, every teacher in America earns at least $60,000 a year.".
Sanders called it "quite unbelievable" that in New Hampshire, "there are teachers starting off in certain districts making less than $29,000 a year.
"And I can tell you, having visited South Carolina on many occasions, you got great teachers there who have been in the profession 20 or 30 years.
I am going to be impacting the lives in my career of hundreds, if not thousands of young people.
Host Anderson Cooper followed up, noting that Sanders wants to freeze federal funding for all new charter schools.
So I think public money should go to public schools, and we're going to freeze all private charter schools funding. »
