I think there are shortcomings in our education system, but I think those shortcomings are mainly due to lack of parental involvement. I also think that federal fingers in the mix causes problems. Specifically, I bet a lot of kids don't have encouragement to do well, and spend their home time playing video games and ignoring homework. I think that no child left behind discourages creative learning.
My belief is that education should be regulated at the state level, with most of the control being in the school districts themselves.
Another question: Who's going to pay for it? And what teacher is going to work 12 hours / day at school (let alone the time they work at home).
On a side note, I am uncomfortable with Obama getting involved with every little detail of our lives. Education should not be run at the federal level, but at the state/district level.
