Obama and No Child Left Behind

Obama has made a promise to give all of our children a better education. First, he's going to change the name. Thank God, no more No Child Left Behind. Then he's going to reward schools for improving--not punish them because they are not doing well on only reading and math.

Why is the world educating their children better than us? They teach to the whole child--all subjects from music to physical education to math to science to geography. Geography? That's something only Americans don;t seem to know anything about. This is one of the changes Obama wants to make.

I don't know all the details, but I know it has to be better than what we had: punish the teachers, punish the schools, punish the children, and that's how Bush and the Republicans think we can improve everyone's education.

I'll stay on top of this issue as more details become available.
