This explains a lot. “Its World Cup bid included plans to build nine climate-controlled stadiums that can be dismantled and moved after the tournament.” Seriously?!

"The idea here is simple: instead of rewarding failure, we only reward success. Instead of funding..."

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 23:37:07 -0500

“The idea here is simple: instead of rewarding failure, we only reward success. Instead of funding the status quo, we only invest in reform – reform that raises student achievement, inspires students to excel in math and science, and turns around failing schools that steal the future of too many young Americans, from rural communities to inner-cities. In the 21st century, one of the best anti-poverty programs is a world-class education. In this country, the success of our children cannot depend more on where they live than their potential.”

- President Barack Obama, State of the Union, January 27, 2010 (via AJC “Get Schooled”)

Obama To Seek $1.35 Billion More For Education (via NPR)

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 23:24:59 -0500

Obama To Seek $1.35 Billion More For Education (via NPR):

Interesting…

“With the grant programs, Obama is trying to make federal education spending more of a competitive endeavor to encourage states and school districts to do better, rather than a solely formula-driven effort in which states and districts look forward to receiving a certain amount of money each school year, regardless of how good a job they do educating students.

To that end, Obama sees the use of student test scores to judge teacher performance and the creation of charter schools, which are funded with public money but operate independently of local school boards, as solutions to the problems that plague public education.”
