After winning the 2008 U.S Election, the big question now is “what are the plans of President Barack Obama for our country in the next four years?” Education is no doubt the key ingredient to success. As Americans emerge from the afterglow of the recent presidential election, while president-elect Barack Obama prepares to take the reins of the country, education is an issue that’s lingering on the minds of many. According to an article at The Apple, No Child Left Behind will be Obama’s first priority when it comes to education. He is not looking to snip the program, but he does intend to reform it, particularly when it comes to standardized testing. He does not support preparing students all year to “fill out bubbles.” Referencing schools, both Obama and vice president-elect Joe Biden support charter schools, as long as they perform up to standard. Teachers at charter schools and others are pleased with Obama's incentives like Teacher Service Scholarships and various pay rewards – this will certainly be a great help. Furthermore, part of the president-elect’s main concern is to boost Early Head Start programs and provide tax credit for college education. The course to repair faith in the American educational system through these ideas and more will definitely lead to the kind of credit repair the country needs.
