We need someone who will say HOW they plan to fix NCLB!
How do you plan to fix something as complex as the state of our public education system and the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB)? That is what journalists need to be asking the current presidential candidates! I am sick and tired of hearing people in our society, especially politicians, make statements on how things need to be different and that change is necessary, but then never offer a solution. I can tell you about thousands of things that need to be changed in modern society, but that doesn't mean I know how to do anything about them. I have yet to hear any of the current presidential candidates explain how they plan to help improve our public school system, as well as remedy the problems with NCLB.
The American public has to make it clear that we are not going to elect a president that can't explain how they are going to fix one of the most important, if not the most important issue in our country today. Yes the war in the Middle East is very important, but the future of our country depends on the children and young adults who are currently in schools across our country. In my opinion our country has let millions of students down by allowing our school system to decline to the state that it is currently in. We can only make things better if we as a society demand more discussion from the candidates about education in America and NCLB. We can't allow this issue to be swept under the rug! We must make it clear that our future president has to make his or her plans to fix the U.S. education system clear, including their solutions. Again I ask for your help to make this possible. Please post comments on my blog site, post on as many other sites that talk about our education system, and possibly create your own blog, it's free.

As someone who is not an American, I enjoyed reading your two most recent blog posts. The situation in Britain is not too dissimilar, in that both debate and action are urgently required in order to fix an ageing, creaking education system that is failing students and their teachers
I completely agree Chad. I went to the Obama rally the other day and he has a bunch of great policies (not related to NCLB) in his campaign, most of which I agree with, but I kept questioning how on earth could all of these ideas actually be implemented. Despite the fact that he didn't really talk specifically about NCLB he did mention education, it just seems like most of the discussion about education says it will be fixed or changed, but not specifically how. That is the problem.
