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.
Good point! I am not really impressed with either candidates stance on education. I understand there are more important things to discuss/debate...I guess people fail to realize education/economy/housing etc are intertwined. I know this is below the belt, but I bet people who are losing their homes due to foreclosure right now wish they had a better understanding of math (interest rates) and reading comprehension
