Barack

I went to see Barack Obama speak in Dubuque, IA. I listened as several questions were brought up about education and if he was elected what changes would we might see as the general public. This is one quote I found very relevant to ed psych: "Our public education system is the key to opportunity for millions of children and families. It needs to be the best in the world. Of particular concern is the growing achievement gap between middle and low-income students, which has continued to expand despite some overall national achievement gains." Throughout the semester we have discussed this growing gap in our nation and by not addressing it on a national level we are greatly hurting our nation. While the Busch administration has tried to answer this with No Child Left Behind. I found Obama to have more realistic answers that start on small scales and work towards the larger goal to continue to be the best, while Busch has everything happening right now. I am a supporter of Obama and with an change in office, changes will take place. I conclude with hope that Obama will be successful in his attempts to become president and then more successful in his attempts to clean up our education system for our future generations.
