[Vision2020] Candidates Issues - Education

[Paul Rumelhart]

I thought I'd pick one this time where I didn't have a clue where the 
candidates stood on the issue.

Here are the links to the candidates websites:

Barack Obama:  http://www.barackobama.com/issues/education/
John McCain:  
http://www.johnmccain.com/Informing/Issues/19ce50b5-daa8-4795-b92d-92bd0d985bca.htm

Some highlights:

There are a lot of similarities at the higher level.  There are some 
differences; Obama wants to focus on math and science education, McCain 
wants to allow parents to choose which public school to send their 
children.  Obama wants to create a tax credit for to cover the first 
$4000 for "most Americans", and 2/3 the cost of most tuition for most 
public colleges or universities for the cost of 100 hours of community 
service.  John McCain wants to eliminate earmarks on federal funding for 
research because it is "destroying [it's] integrity".

There is a lot of data there, and I've only read through it quickly.  
Let me know what you think.
