Сейчас небось придумает как опять на первое место вернуться: денег в школы вбухать, каждому школьнику по купить всяких компьютеров, набрать всяких психологов что бы и непременно повысить зарплаты учителям. Ну и конечно запретить вредную пищу в школах. И все станет ажур.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act invested heavily in education both as a way to provide jobs now and lay the foundation for long-term prosperity.
* The Act includes $5 billion for early learning programs, including Head Start, Early Head Start, child care, and programs for children with special needs.
* The Act also provides $77 billion for reforms to strengthen elementary and secondary education, including $48.6 billion to stabilize state education budgets (of which $8.8 billion may be used for other government services) and to encourage states to:
o Make improvements in teacher effectiveness and ensure that all schools have highly-qualified teachers;
o Make progress toward college and career-ready standards and rigorous assessments that will improve both teaching and learning;
o Improve achievement in low-performing schools, through intensive support and effective interventions; and
o Gather information to improve student learning, teacher performance, and college and career readiness through enhanced data systems.
* The Act provides $5 billion in competitive funds to spur innovation and chart ambitious reform to close the achievement gap.
* The Act includes over $30 billion to address college affordability and improve access to higher education.

It has gotten very little attention so far, but make no mistake: President Obama is pushing for an absolute paradigm shift in the role that community colleges will play in producing America's highly skilled workers of the future -- and not everyone is happy about it.
Obama and Dr. Jill Biden, the vice president's wife, who teaches at a community college in Northern Virginia, are convening the first ever White House Summit on Community Colleges. It promotes an ambitious goal: getting community colleges to produce an additional 5 million graduates by 2020.
If the number of community college graduates sharply increases over the next 10 years, it could help the U.S. have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world -- an honor that America once held, but lost long ago.
Now Obama is determined to restore America's lost position atop that heap by framing the community college as one of the great economic issues of the 21st century, while the private sector looks to find as many highly skilled workers as possible, whether they have two-year or four-year college degrees.
Reform and Invest in K-12 Education
President Obama will reform America’s public schools to deliver a 21st Century education that will prepare all children for success in the new global workplace. He will foster a race to the top in our nation’s schools,
by promoting world-class academic standards and a curriculum that fosters critical thinking, problem solving, and the innovative use of knowledge to prepare students for college and career. He will push to end the use of ineffective, "off-the-shelf" tests, and support new, state-of-the-art assessment and accountability systems that provide timely and useful information about the learning and progress of individual students.
Teachers are the single most important resource to a child’s learning. President Obama will ensure that teachers are supported as professionals in the classroom, while also
holding them more accountable.
And he will challenge State and school districts to remove ineffective teachers from the classroom.
Вместо "State and school districts" следует читать "профсоюз учителей".
Про психологов, компьютеры и здоровую пищу отчего-то не пишут.
