Education News

 Two things that will affect all of America in the near future are 1) the presidential election and 2) education reform.  As I was looking for education websites to blog about, I ran across www.educationnews.org.  I found different articles on Michelle Bachmann, Rick Perry, Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, and Herman Cain's views on education.  Because I would LOVE to see a Perry-Bachmann ticket in the upcoming election, I decided that I would Blog about both of them.

Education News Rick Perry:

Rick Perry has great things in mind for the future education of America.  His education goals do not just stop at elementary expectation or high school standards.  The education goals that Rick Perry have set all focus on getting Americans to college.  He is looking for ways to help colleges not waste their money so that they can keep the cost of tuition down.  Education News says that Perry believes "it will be the strength and support of teachers that will help the students achieve success."  This holds standards high not just for students, but for teachers as well.  Perry has great aspirations for the future of American education.


Education News Michelle Bachmann:

One reason I think Michelle Bachmann would be a great vice president is because #1- I do not think women should be president (different subject for a different blog... maybe) and #2- her goals for education greatly compliment Perry's.  As Perry focuses on graduation and college,  Bachmann has a heart for the K-12 realm of education.  She believes in small government.  She wants the power of education given back to the state level, away from the federal level.  Michelle Bachmann says, “I entered politics because I want to give my children the incredible educational experience I received from public schools as a student. No Child Left Behind must be repealed and control of our education returned to the local level.”  Because she has five biological children and twenty three foster children, she has a major focus on education.  Michelle Bachmann has high expectations for America's education system.




Educationnews.com was really helpful to me in finding information on the republican candidates' expectations for education in the next election.  Education News also had more interesting topics that had to do with online schools and international schooling.  Definitely a good website to look into for education majors!
