Obama On Education Reform

David Jackson of the USA TODAY, writes;
"The challenges of a new century demand more time in the classroom," Obama told the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in a speech with sweeping goals but few specifics. Obama basically plans to put more money into school funding, and push for longer days within the local schools, But some of his other goals include improved early childhood education programs, higher standards in elementary and high schools, better teacher pay and recruitment, and expanded college aid programs. As a 3rd year student I am affected greatly by whatever education reform Obama choices to make, therefore I have i have formed a strong opinion for it. I believe Obama is pushing kids today in the right direction. We need better funding, for books and new material. A stronger American education could result in a surge of better jobs within American economy. So I back his decsion 100%
