Barack Obama has produced a nice video about his view of education and his positive vision for successful families and children for our future. He covers what children and families need, also what we need in teachers and changes to "No Child Left Behind" and finally his commitment to making higher education more affordable. This is 7 minutes worth your time--giving every child a chance.
