You’ve probably heard of the Bush education plan called “No Child Left Behind.” There has been a lot of controversy about it and how states plan to implement it. But what if it’s the teachers having trouble with the tests, not the kids? According to Fox News, half of the middle school teachers in Philadelphia failed the test that kids are given as part of the law. Philadelphia’s public school system has been troubled for years and is considered to be “failing.” But it is the kids who suffer. Clark is a huge fan of charter schools and experiments in education. But in many areas, school districts and teachers’ unions line up in opposition to these initiatives. Instead of worrying about the children, they’re worrying about the administrators and the people on the school board. Teachers burnt out every year because of the bureaucracy in schools. Schools systems lose some of the most creative minds and, as a result, the children suffer. We should provide the resources for kids to go to private schools if they want to. We need to reach kids who are not challenged and are failing in any way we can. We need an educated work force because it helps our country over all. We must have creativity and choice so we can continue to enjoy all the freedoms we do.
