Part of Mitt Romney's plan is to, "began a program to expand charter schools, providing and increasing funding, fighting the legislature's cap and moratorium on charter schools, and successfully increased the number of charter schools and the number of students attending them" (aboutmittromeny.com/education.htm). This is basically saying that by allowing someone who is big with school run them. That government, state, and etc. shouldn't have any part in school what so ever. The charter school still will have to meet the standards but they can teach however they please as long as the students are learning. The person in charge of the school can pay teacher and staff whatever they want, with the money that is given to run the school.
When President Obama's plan is to, "...by encouraging states to work jointly toward a system of common academic standards that builds toward college and career readiness, and that includes improved assessments designed to measure critical knowledge and higher-order thinking skills" (www.whitehouse.gov). His plan is to prepare students for college and the real world. It's to help the student understand that life isn't easy. President Obama wants to improve the way students learn and make them think more than they are now. With higher-standards and assignments that a student that would enjoy doing it, there is a possible that the graduation rate would increase.
I agree with both Mitt Romney and President Obama the reason is because they both have good ideas. If they were to put both ideas together and would make education better. With Romney's idea plan with charter school and not allowing the government being apart of school is a great idea. President Obama's by wanting to prepare students for college and the career field they want to do. Also to prepare them for the real world that is a plus because most students graduate from high school naive to the world. And being able to understand the world a little more than what they do once they leave high school is great.
