Education Platform
This is what I’m talking about! Some decent media coverage about putting education front and center in the presidential election. It makes me happy that someone who can do something (as in not just me and my little blog) is trying to make this a national issue. As a matter of fact the article says that polls are showing that education and the economy are ranking as more important than the war in Iraq.
I was all kinds of shocked to hear that. I mean the war in Iraq IS important and all of the men and women over there should definitely be in our minds this election season but that is what everyone is focusing on in the media. There cause doesn’t need me to go around waving the banner. Education on the other hand does need some banner waving.
One last thing, I’m not by any means saying I’m with Watts on what he thinks needs to be done with education but any discussion at all is better than what I have been seeing!
Do you think education will play an important role in the presidential election this year or am I just dreaming??

I am really hoping that education will play a major role in the campaign this time around. I say this because this time next year my child will be going to Kindergarten, and it’s very important to me. The educational issue is one that I am definitely paying attention to!
That’s great! I think a lot of parents don’t really think about it. I usually see interest from educators and students, but oddly, not parents. It makes me happy that you are interesed in the education platforms of the presidential candidates!
