America’s New Commander In Chief

With the election over all the ballots cast, history was made with Barack Obama as America’s new President Elect.  With this new leadership there is a resurgance of hope that things will be making quite a few new turns. The Bush administration had a few failed policies on children and family related issues.  The No Child Left Behind Act fell far short of any kind of promise it may have had.  People have a sincere hope that things will be able to be fixed not just with some failed policies, but in a much broader scope of things.

Obama has quite a few things set to try and get into action after he officially takes office.  Including a reform of no child left beind:

Reform and Fund No Child Left Behind: The goal of the No Child Left Behind Act is the right one – ensuring that all children can meet high standards – but the law has significant flaws that need to be addre ssed. Barack Obama and Joe Biden believe it was wrong to force teachers, principals and schools to accomplish the goals of No Child Left Behind without the necessary resources. We have failed to provide high-quality teachers in every classroom and failed to support and pay for those teachers. Obama and Biden understand that NCLB has demoralized our educators, broken its promise to our children and must be changed in a fundamental way. Obama and Biden will work with mayors and state leaders to ensure that NCLB reform addresses the need for a broader and better range of assessments and an accountability system that focuses on improving schools, rather than punishing them.

In addition to this plan, there are many noble goals listed on the website.  Although there is no telling what will happen once he officially takes office, we can see there could be many beneficial changes coming soon.  One fact will remain certain- things will be rough for a bit, here are a lot of things that need to be fixed throughout the next four years.
