Through the access of the through educational activity it also help us and to provide the common good of every one of us. As well as our country, like on the presidential debate barrack obama give him point of view regarding on the statement of the how does education help our country.
Education is truly an important aspect in the success of a nation. A new administration is about to take over, and education is a topic that’s hovering on the minds of many. What will president-elect Barack Obama do to improve the massive groups of students and teachers in America? In an article at The Apple, Obama’s first step into the development of education is focused on No Child Left Behind. He does not intend to scrap the program, but he does want to reform it, particularly when it comes to standardize testing. He is against preparing students all year to “fill out bubbles.” As long as the performance is up to standard, both Obama and Vice-President Elect Biden will support charter schools. Teachers at charter schools and beyond find Obama's incentives like Teacher Service Scholarships and various pay rewards hopeful. Moreover, a major part of the president-elect’s proposal is to enhance Early Head Start Programs and provide tax credits for college education. Restoring faith in the American educational system via these ideas and more will surely lead to the kind of credit repair the country needs – where the currency is a vibrant workforce that is equipped and ready to lead America into the future.

I started looking at what both McCain and Obama have been pushing legislatively in the Senate on education. I noticed that while Obama has introduced 11 education bills this session, McCain hasn't introduced any. Makes you wonder if McCain really has any ideas about improving education:

Obama's committment to early childhood and afterschood programs is a powerful strategy for helping to close the achievement gap. Although we also need to also encourage parent involvement, the fact remains that while parents are working in those hours from 3 – 6, children can be safe, doing their homework, and playing games that build skills like good work habits, decision-making, and time management. They can be having fun and getting exercise and doing service projects. Pre-schoolers can be learning how to behave in school settings, can develop early literacy skills, and start building on basic math thinking.
These investments pay off: children do better in school, and parents can keep working without worry. .

Reform No Child Left Behind: Obama will reform NCLB, which starts by funding the law. Obama believes teachers should not be forced to spend the academic year preparing students to fill in bubbles on standardized tests. He will improve the assessments used to track student progress to measure readiness for college and the workplace and improve student learning in a timely, individualized manner. Obama will also improve NCLB’s accountability system so that we are supporting schools that need improvement, rather than punishing them.

He had me at “reform”…………No Child Left Behind is the worst…why this act was implemented without ANY FUNDING is beyond logic, beyond ALL reason.
