"We can spend billion after billion on education in this country. We can develop a program for every problem imaginable and we can fund those programs with every last dime we have. But there is no program and no policy that can substitute for a parent who is involved in their child's education from day one," he said.
Obama said he would accredit college programs, remove poorly performing teachers from classrooms and increase time spent on math and science instruction. He said mentoring programs are key to keeping good teachers involved and improving struggling ones.
Barry O. has a point, even if it is buried in the context of a very Democrat-like 18 Billion dollar spending bill. Actually, a Democrat telling the truth about his spending plans is kind of different by itself. Anyway, the accountability angle wins him a point.
