WASHINGTON – While comparing himself and our times to FDR (Fmr. Pres Franklin D. Roosevelt) and JFK (Fmr. Pres John F Kennedy), Pres. Obama stated his Education Plan,which includes:
- Rewarding good teachers
- Improving Student Health
- Increasing Standards for higher test scores
- Push more funding for Pres. Bush’s No Child Left Behind Act
- "I know longer school days and school years are not wildly popular ideas," Obama said. "But the challenges of a new century demand more time in the classroom."
Obama's final reform initiative focused on higher education. Among other things, the president promised to boost college access by raising the maximum Pell Grant award to $5,550 a year and indexing it above inflation. He also promised to push for a $2,500 a year tuition tax credit for students from working families.

jose? You are a moron. Also? The anti-christ wouldn't want us to be more intelligent, he would want us to be seething idiots who know of nothing but their own self-inflicted stupidity. So hey--good job scoring a point for Satan!
ReplyDeleteOf course this is not a 'wildly popular' idea...but it's obvious that our children are lagging behind other countries when it comes to test scores and intelligence quotients. Increasing time AND quality simultaneously gives our children more opportunity to learn and grow.
