John Edwards' Thoughts On Education
This is the latest report from the National Journal/NBC reporters embedded with the campaigns of top presidential contenders and in two key states.
Elizabeth Edwards told New Hampshire voters this weekend that the education plan of her husband, Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, is the latest example of him leading the Democratic field when it comes to addressing the issues.
Mrs. Edwards led a roundtable discussion on education Saturday morning, one day after John Edwards announced his platform on the issue. The discussion at Bow Memorial School focused largely on the perceived flaws of the 2002 education law known as the No Child Left Behind Act, which Edwards contended was really an excuse for the Bush administration to go to vouchers.
"Funding the fix is the way that you commit yourself to improving public schools, not by saying, 'That didn't work, so we're going to send you some place else,'" Mrs. Edwards said.
