Obama’s educational plan


In Obama’s State of the Union adress, he mentions that the U.S has the highest dropout rates, one half of high school students dropout. He stated that three fourth of jobs require a college education and less than one-half of americans have a college education. Our president has already made accomplishments in the United States. He has prevented teachers from getting laid off from their jobs. I think this is one of the best decisions he has made for our country. I believe without knowledge you won’t succeed with the goals you might make in your life. But without our teachers there is no knowledge. College is also being made affordable by giving tax credit. One of Obama’s goals for our future is to start a program so that high school graduates can volunteer in their community for a year and get a free college education. I’m hoping this goal passes by the time I graduate from high school because that pushes me even more to get a college education. This will prevent millions of students from going into debt before they finish college. This plan will also help me move forward for my family. Another goal that Obama has is to expand charter schools. I agree on expanding charter schools. It will find those teachers who don’t really care about an education. What teachers don’t realize is that we are the future. All americans should go back and get one year of a college education. That way even though you think your to old to get some education thats not true any thing is possible. It's a good thing to get education so it can refresh your memory. It will also help you help your kids.
