As a teacher and mother it is probably a no brainer as to what one of the most important issues of this campaign is to me.....EDUCATION. I really want a candidate that is going to do more than just claim that this is a priority and has a realistic plan of action. I want a candidate that is going to come up with creative solutions beyond just throwing $$$ at the problem. To recognize that access to technology is essential and encouraging teachers to seek professional development and motivating them to stay in the field. Also making it easier for 2nd career individuals to seek teacher licensure. McCain beleives the solution lies in choice and competition vs Obama who wants to focus on early childhood education, science, and retaining quality teachers. These are both ambitious options. I hope that whoever gets elected will make education a priority and recognize that this GLOBAL issue matters to most.

While I went to a private school, after seeing NCLB it would be nice to stop just throwing money at the problem of education. I find it hard to see a guy who cannot send email or use the internet without constant help as being someone that will bring technology into the classroom and really put America back on top of science, math and engineering fields where we need to be!
Ill probably still vote McCain though even though I cant stand Palin.
