Education is one of the key issues in the 2008 Presidential Election. Hillary Clinton, the current democratic frontrunner for the 2008 Presidential Election, has many ideas and plans to address the issue of education in the United States.Throughout her legal and political career, Hillary Clinton has been an advocate for children and for an improved education system.
As Senator, Hillary Clinton has a strong voting record in the area of education. Hillary Clinton voted to increase teacher education, bringing more qualified educators into the schools (2000). Hillary Clinton also voted to increase teacher salaries, treating teachers "like the professionals they are," according to her website, http://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/family/.
Hillary Clinton believes that private school vouchers only add to the problem with today's public school system. Providing children with private school vouchers simply "sweeps the problem under the rug," so to speak. Hillary Clinton has maintained that we need to reform our current schools, rather than using vital resources for private school vouchers. If the public schools are improved, parents wouldn't feel that private schools are as necessary for their children.
Early education is very important to children's development. If elected President, Hillary Clinton will designate more funds to early education programs like Head Start. Hillary Clinton helped create the Early Head Start program, allowing young children of lower income and those with disabilities to receive education at an early age.
If elected President in 2008, Hillary Clinton will work to reform the public education in America. Hillary Clinton will further revise the No Child Left BehindAct. Clinton was quoted on her website as saying that, "This law represented a promise -- more resources for schools in exchange for more accountability -- and that promise has not been kept."
