Dear Friend:
Thank you
for sharing your thoughts on education. I appreciate hearing from
you. I am committed to providing the best possible education for
our Nation's students because our children deserve it and because,
today more than ever, America's prosperity rests on how well we educate
them.
Across the
country, we have many great schools and dedicated teachers. We
should be proud of these successes, and eager to discover and support
what makes them great. We must also realize that not all children
get the education they deserve, and many schools need urgent reform to
better help our students reach their full potential.
Through the
Recovery Act, my Administration has made a historic investment toward
improving public education and providing greater access to a complete
and competitive education for every child. This investment will
make high-quality, early learning programs available to more young
children. The Recovery Act will also help strengthen the teaching
profession by recognizing talented teachers who improve learning and by
encouraging them to stay in the schools that need them most. We
are committed to exploring innovative approaches that advance teaching
and learning through high standards and expectations for all students,
and to developing meaningful assessments. These steps can ensure
our graduates are prepared for success both in their higher education
and careers.
A child's
education does not begin and end with a school bell, and responsibility
must extend beyond a school's walls. Our future success depends
on a greater level of engagement between parents, communities, and
schools on behalf of children. We all share the duty to educate
our students, and if we hold them to the highest standards, they will
meet them. Please join me online to read more at: www.WhiteHouse.gov/issues/education.
Sincerely,
Barack Obama
