Education in Politics

Presidential elections bring an increasing interest in politics and issues. While this active participation is a good thing, it is important to maintain (or even increase) this political attention even though the votes are in. Education policy is an incredibly important subject that is deeply affecting the United States--specifically Missouri (and not just during presidential campaign times). Our children need dedicated individuals to remain actively crusading on their behalf. Creating a passionate momentum is the only means for school improvement.

The United States will undoubtedly experience many changes over the next few years, and it is imperative that education remains in the political discussion. For some insight, Washington Post Education Columnist Jay Mattews offers his predictions on the general direction Obama will take our schools based on debates and campaigning.
