WHY IT MATTERS: Washington wields power in education and students feel the effects

September 12, 2012. The Article comes from Washingtonpost.

Summary
:States and local governments have primary responsibility to regulate education in the United States. However, the federal government holds too much power to control over education. President Barack Obama and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney argues that the No Child Left Behinds needs to revision. Nowadays, most Americans emphasizes that the education is an serious issue that they have to figure out. In order to compete globally, many American students pay amounts of money for higher education; however, it only leaves huge debts for students. Even though the federal government spend a lot of money, it still contains problems of accessibility, accountability and teacher quality. Obama administration determined to advocate students to speed in math and reading as well as the Republicans charged that the administration was usurping the power of Congress.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                
My opinion
:From my point of view, I think that Americans need to figure out how they develop or improve their education That's why the federal government reacted to this serious problem by establishing the No Child Left Behinds Act. However, it caused some difficulties so that many students and citizens wanted to repeal or change directly. Even though many students are struggling with amounts of debt, I think U.S. government tries its best to give many chances to people to learn many things. And the next administration will be improved more and more.
