Now that it's clear that Barack Obama is going to be the next President of the United States, I thought educators like myself would find this video interesting. It's a video discussing Obama's educational plans. There's nothing earth shattering here, and based on what he is saying I could neither recommend nor reject him based on this video alone. Still, it's interesting (and short, especially compared to that 30 minutes monstrosity he put out last week. Still haven't seen all of it, yet).

Interesting that Ted Kennedy wrote "No Child Left Behind" They are "eating their own" just like Republicans. I completely disagree with the thought of teachers have "flexibility" in the classroom, with that we have non uniformity and therefore students unable to compete in a "mobile" job market. And lastly How Much Money is enough? I think Bush increased funding more than any other president to about 40% more than Clinton. Also my english is marginal but the term "gotten done" is that good english?
actually the amount spent on education under G Bush increased by 85% see
