The Secretary of Education says that the United States is falling behind the world in education. I strongly agree with this and am pleased that the Obama administration is planning on doing something abou this shortcoming. There are a wide variety of changes that will hopefully take place. One is holding school districts and the states accountable for low-performing schools instead of only the school itself. Also, states will be given more flexibilty on how to spend federal dollars as long as the money is being spent to "improve the outcome of students." I hope these reforms take place quicly because education is such an important aspect in our world.
