EDUCATION

OBAMA wants $10 billion more to expand federal preschool programs and $8 billion to provide incentives for communities to attract and retain good teachers. He would overhaul the No Child Left Behind Act to change the way schools are evaluated before they are punished for failing to meet standards. McCAIN is more supportive of No Child Left Behind and is committed to fully funding it. He would raise standards for Head Start but hasn't been specific on what that means. He would reallocate existing spending to support online education, and he supports vouchers and school choice so that all parents can have a say in where their kids go to school.
