I suspect that our education problems are a lot deeper than a single "plan" can help very much.
I'm sure Senator Obama has a "plan" as well.
"No Child Left Behind" has (had?) a real nice ring to it, but my wife (a now former teacher) and almost all of her teacher and administrator friends think it is (was?) a disaster.
I'm not real impressed with comments made on the campaign trail.
Still, we've got to begin somewhere.

That's interesting - I have relatives and friends who are teachers who think NCLB has had a positive impact, if for no other reason than to get discussion going on better teaching techniques.
I guess it depends on who you ask...
