It is clear after looking at these two platforms that education has a better future with Obama. As the image above states Obama wants to invest more in education while Romney's plan could end up cutting $2.7 billion from programs for low income students and special education up to $2.2 billion. Romney's plan does not make it necessary for schools to take action when students are struggling. This is important when it comes to what we are studying in this class because Romney's plan doesn't require that students who might be struggling in reading writing or math receive the help they need to catch up and the students will just fall further behind, and their motivation to take part in learning will decrease until they get to high school and decide to drop out. Obama's plan motivates teachers to do the best job they can to give the support to their students when they need it. Another issue that relates to our SED342 class is Mitt Romney's plan for the cutting of funding to special education. This is very concerning because we need that funding to give students all the supports they need to succeed. I was disappointed in most of the debates where both candidates are at fault of skating over our education issue. I at least expected Obama to touch on it. But there was nothing. This makes me feel like they don't care as much about education as everything else. I know that other things are important but if our education system doesn't improve how do they expect our society to improve? I am voting for the candidate I feel will put us on track to a better education system.Who will you vote for?
