My article discusses Hilary Clintons view on education. It starts out by saying she is for teacher testing even for those teachers who have been in the system for a long time. Basically Hilary Clinton wants periodic examinations to be given to teachers to make sure that they are not failing their students.
Hilary Clinton supports increasing academic standards as well as increasing the resources available to meet those standards. But unfortunately increasing resources available to teachers involves the need of more funds which in turn involves increasing property taxes.
Another interesting thing about Hilary and education is that she promotes more after school activities to prevent kids from getting involved with gangs. I generally think this is a good idea to keep kids out of gangs but the means Hillary is using I don’t think are enough. I think the solution to keeping kids out of gangs involves educating children on the dangers associated with gangs.
Another interesting thing about Hilary’s stance on education is she supports smaller class sizes. I generally think this is a good idea because if a student needs assistance beyond what is provided in class then they can get that one on one attention they need from the teacher.
