Does the current generally recognized President of the United States think that formal schooling is important?

Question

I personally don't think he values formal schooling. In fact, I think he is contemptuous of it. What in the world is "no child left behind?" Did anyone ever buy into that?

Answer 1

He has a Degree from Harvard as well as one from Yale... I'd hazzard a guess that educations been a larger part of his life than most of the whiny, hippie Libs...

Answer 2

Personal experience has taught him anything beyond second grade is a waste so most likely not.
That's why with Mark Foley he started the nationally accredited " Every Childs Behind" - which holds separate meanings for them both.

Answer 3

Absolutely. The biggest problem with education in this country is laziness among students and lack of parenting from parents.

Answer 4

Acting with impunity and wielding the moral authority of pedophiles, Bush and his fellow Neocons have decimated what was left of America's good name while severely crippling our nation’s capacity for advancing and protecting human rights. Setting a sanguineous course in their reckless pursuit of wealth and power, they have afflicted humankind with their perverse agenda. With alarming consistency, these sociopaths have demonstrated their utter disregard for humanity and the well-being of our planet.

While the US has a history of imperialism, deep cruelty, and mass murder, including slaughtering one million civilians in the conquest of the Philippines, legalizing the institution of slavery, and committing the Native American genocide, by World War II America had arguably begun to demonstrate a reasonable level of commitment to humanitarian ideals. While it was a long, painful process, Abolitionists, Women Suffragists, Populists, Labor Activists, Civil Rights Protestors, and the like forced the United States to strive for truly noble causes. From the end of World War II up until the 1960's, one could reasonably conclude that the nation primarily responsible for the defeat of militaristic fascism in both Europe and Asia had earned a degree of moral authority, in spite of its remaining flaws.

Answer 5

Since he cut funding for education two years in a row I'd have to say no.

Answer 6

Only if you think both Harvard and Yale are worthy institutions... :S

Answer 7

Of course he does. Don't you remember what he said about it..

"Seldom is the question asked...is our children learning?"

Answer 8

That would be a resounding YES!

Answer 9

It wasn't for him so why should any one think he favors it for anyone else?
