Obama focuses on education in the SOTU

Obama calling on States to take initiatives to improve their educational system. The school had to stop “teaching to the test,” he said, referencing policies that are applied with no child left behind Act of 2001. He also makes the case that students should be asked to stay in high school until they graduate or reach the age of 18.

“When students do not walk away from their education, more of them walked the stage to get their diploma,” he said. “When students are not allowed to drop out, they do better.”

“When kids graduate, the most daunting challenges to tuition fees,” he said.

Brown sharply differs from Obama on education policy

For those people out there are teacher bashers let me say this: teachers don’t get into professions to make money. They do not become a teacher to be a lazy employee or handout that is easy to find. Teachers choose their way to teach youth how to be good citizens and people better. They become teachers because they always believe they can make the world a better place. They go through the school years and took great loans so that they can do the job that they trust, and one that does not offer large amounts of money. And young adults, most people today who want to become teachers spend a year as a substitute teacher or adjuncts, barely scrapping by with a little money they make. There are some bad teachers? Yes, as there are some lawyers who are bad, or terrible, doctor or accountant, or a bad thing. Is relying on standardized tests the answer? No, because the school is not about teaching students how to fill in A, B, C or d. school is about teaching students how to learn and think for themselves. It is about teaching them how to analyze and become better citizens. When we make a test standard priority, education takes a back seat. How do we leave the teaching to teachers who have spent many years training to become a teacher. If we do not tell scientists how to build a rocket spacecraft why we say teachers how to teach?

If Brown does not agree with Obama on education policy is obviously RACIST then Brown!!!!!!!!!!!!
