Nick Carter on Education Democratic Senate Challenger

No vouchers; make all schools better

A: Do not support. This has never worked anywhere it has been tried. Let's make all our schools better so that we don't need to consider this option.

Federal government must have role in education

A: Education should be this nation's number one priority going forward. We cannot solve the problems faced by our financial markets, the energy crisis, etc. without an educated workforce that is prepared to meet tomorrow's challenges. The federal government must play a supportive role in fostering educational advancement. Too many of our schools go underfunded. Investing in education is an investment in America's future. We can leave the implementation of the system to the states while the federal government can issue block grants to fund our educational priorities. If we make education a priority as a government it will become a priority with our citizens. The time of Presidents running as proud 'C' students and the glorification of stupidity is over. That is what has led us into our current crisis. There is nothing elitist about being educated.
