FINALLY! Education on Presidential Debate

Finally, Senators McCain and Obama talked about education. DC was mentioned-- not as a good model system though.

I like Sen. McCain's stand on revising NCLB, teacher rewards and accountability, and the voucher system. A BIG BOO when he undervalues the importance of teaching licensure examination.

I like Sen. Obama's stand on stronger headstart program, more pay for Math & Science teachers, and parental involvement (PARENTS turn off the TV!). A BIG BOO on his stand on voucher system.

FINALLY, they're talking about the
PINK ELEPHANT in the room.

anonymous & ms. mindless,

i'm a proponent of "agree to disagree" as well. it's healthy and it's ok in my book.

voucher puts power to parents.

we live in a democratic and free world... why citizens need to be confined within the zip code they live in?
