To me, that's a huge issue. And all I have is a 9 month old niece. But with it being a more competitive marketplace globally I want her to be in the best position to succeed.
I'm curious to know how parents here feel about education as an issue.

Education is an issue for sure, but it's not on my voting radar because I feel good about my ability to provide a first rate education for my daughter personally. I'm lucky enough to live in a township with one of the best public school systems in Pennsylvania. And there aren't any townships nearby scoring low enough on the standardized tests to have their kids flooding my school based on the No Child Left Behind laws. So I feel insulated from the problems surrounding the issue, personally.
Rising college costs are a problem, though. I'd like to see something done about that, but there are no candidates offering any solutions, and I can't for the life of me imagine what can be done about it. Colleges are in major competition with one another to attract students, so they build facilities and expand, and that costs a buttload.
By the way, I can't help but notice the change of subject. Just so it's clear, I was a little put off by Daseal's attitude but I ain't got no hate. I still love me some puppy-kicker!
