How could anybody argue against this now? I mean its all for the union.....errr.....children right???
"As a nation, we have an obligation to make sure that all children have the resources they need to learn – quality schools, good teachers, the latest textbooks and the right technology. That’s why the jobs bill I sent to Congress would put tens of thousands of teachers back to work across the country, and modernize at least 35,000 schools. And Congress should pass that bill right now…"

By strengthening the education system, he means the unions.
He certainly can't mean the children, because he and his party have fought tooth and nail to prevent children from having a CHOICE to leave failing, dangerous schools.
Instead, they try to protect the teacher's unions at the expense of the children.

You just like to pull stuff out your butt, don't you? Your hands must really stink.
It is mind boggling to see the per student money being thrown at schools. Where I live it's around ten grand a kid. I read on another thread in NY it's 18K.
I was talking with a teacher at my son's ballgame the other day and we were talking about the new million dollar baseball stadium the just installed at the high school and how they can build that and still want money for teachers. She said that money for teacher pay and money for buildings, upgrades etc. come from two different funds and can't be moved from one to the other. They eliminated 7th grade sports completely a year ago in our district but got their million dollar baseball stadium. None of it makes any sense. The whole bureaucracy is a complete mess.
But not one mention of the curriculum.
Hire more teachers, renovate classrooms, order more books and technology.
But what about the curriculum ? Throwing more money at schools and publishers will not fix the problem of the US slipping in global standings in Math/Science.

Oh really?
You mean obama and the dems have NOT fought school choice, the voucher system for years?
As long as they can send their kids to the best education money can buy, who cares about the rest?
See - the DC school voucher program - shut down by obama and the dems (because the teacher's unions objected) and reinstated by the GOP.
Prove me wrong that the democrat party is in bed with the unions at the expense of kids destined to languish in failing, dangerous schools.
