According to this article McCain is saying some things but nothing that I feel strongly one way or the other about. The part of the article that really interested me is that McCain is to discuss his education platform at the end of summer. I’m so excited that there will BE an education platform that I hardly know what to do with myself. One assumes (yes, I know where assumptions can get me) that a platform might have actual information. That would be so wonderful! Don’t get me wrong I’m not going to go with a candidate just based on what he has to say about education but it is going to have a lot of pull. After all, the way our children are taught will have one of the most long lasting affects on our country. As a teacher I can tell you that I’m a bit worried about how our country is going to handle the generation that is coming up for graduation.
What issues in education are you hoping McCain addresses at the ‘end of summer’? I’m looking forward to some information about No Child Left Behind, vouchers, standardized tests and national standards.
