Is anyone interested in discussing the candidates platforms on education?!
Obama wants to spend more on education, as an investment in our future, and while I agree with this in principle, I think there also needs to be reform. The education systems in our country (or at least in my state) are filled with bloat. I look at the education budget in our state, and the ratio of money spent in direct support of students compared to the total budget is terrible.
I would like to see the DOE overhauled at least, and eliminated if possible. I would also like to see more federal dollars offered for vocational training. I actually have a complete educational reform package with many other changes I think are necessary, but I am accessing IV on my blackberry, so gotta keep it brief.
I just wanted to chime in and say that I totally agree with your entire post.
