John McCain and Education
Posted on October 9th, 2008 at 9:06 am by angelapearson and tagged , ,

John McCain believes the No Child Left Behind act.  He thinks that all children should be able to go to the school they want to go to and what is the best and easiest for them and thier parents.  He believes that the schools should be competiting to get the students to come into our schools.  He does not want low standards from some and high standars from the rest he wants it all equal.  If the schools will not change, the students should change the schools. 

I agree with most of this stuff.  But if the students don’t care to change then the teachers are not going to care either, and if the kids these days don’t care about school and are going to grow up to be a teacher what are they going to teach like, and what are the kids in 4 years going to be like.  The kids are not going to change the schools, it has to be the teachers who want to change it and they dont even want to anymore.  The standards should be set higher so the kids do want to come to school.  They should not have to wake up every morning and dread to come to school, but anymore its like that due to all the people that don’t care.  All the crime, and fights, and bullying that goes on in the huge schools.  Things teachers don’ts see, kids are not going to change, so if he thinks that, then let him think that. 

John McCain and Foreign Policy
Posted on October 9th, 2008 at 8:36 am by angelapearson and tagged , ,

John McCain and his view on foreign policy are hard to explain.  He understands what it is like to go over and fight because he was a prisoner of war for seven years.  But John McCain really does not have any back up plan.  He will sit down with a leader but only with pre-conditions.  John McCain says he is ready for any dangerous threats in the world.  He says we have good reason to expect solidarity of our allies. 

My opinion on all of this is i have no clue.  I used to like John McCain, but now i am not so for sure.  If either one of them become president our Nation will become screwed.  John McCain may have been a prision of war for seven years and he may know all about that but then why is he not taking the reactions that he should?  We should not wanting to be sending more people over to Iraq we should take them out.  Either way we for the next four years we are going to be screwed.
