“Instead of just giving lip service to improving our schools, I will actually put the kids first and the teachers union behind in giving our kids better teachers, better options and better choices for a better future.”

Meaning

This reads as a promise of action, framed against empty political language. The line can be taken to mean that the speaker wants to move from slogans to practical choices, placing children and schools ahead of institutional pressure. It lands in campaign talk about education reform, where the real test is whether the children in the system end up with better support, not just better messaging.
