Hopes for Obama and Education

Here’s another interactive post for all of you blog readers.

It’s sort of the Pink Elephant that has landed in the living room, and I can’t just pretend it’s not here any more

The election of Barack Obama could portend significant changes in the system of public education in this country.

If you’re open to sharing, I’d really like to hear your thoughts.

What do you hope for in an Obama Administration, with regard to education? Research and new Grants? Changes to No Child Left Behind? Greater funding for urban and rural districts? Higher teacher pay? An end to vouchers? More accountability? Merit pay?

What are your concerns?

Do you have any ideas that you think Obama would do well to heed?

What might Obama ignore in the field of education that he would do well to pay close attention to?

I’m opening this up pretty wide. But with one restriction. All comments must be on the topic of education. Any that are not on education I will have to discard.

Your coments may be short, Just, what’s on the top of your your mind? I’d really like to know. And we can all benefit by hearing from one anoher.

Best
