Edwards wants education overhaul
John Edwards made a stop in Iowa on the campaign trail this week, and announced that he has the answers to what’s ailing the American public education system. Of course, most people agree that Bush’s No Child Left Behind program is a failure, but I’m not sure that Edwards’ proposals of longer school years and universal preschool are really what’s needed. It seems like summer vacation has gotten a lot shorter since I was in school already - do we really want our kids’ childhoods to be nothing but endless school year after school year?
