It's the Thursday after the election on Tuesday, and by this time we already know what the results looked like. I'm not gonna go too in depth as to who won because I am sure we all sick of hearing about it. Some people are probably relieved and others...not so much.
One thing that concerned me the most is how this election will effect education. I am anxious to know because if I have to pack up my things and move elsewhere...that's just what I'll have to do! :) But on a more serious note, education was a very important topic in this election and yet voter turnout was low. So much for having a voice huh? But we will save that for another time.
So what exactly is going on...or what will happen for that matter? Well in an article by EdNews Colorado, they break down what each party planned to do. It was stated that Republican congressional candidates attacked Democratic incumbents for supporting the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the federal economic-stimulus program, which provided some $100 billion for education. The GOP plans to reduce federal spending and many GOP congressional candidates have emphasized local control in their K-12 platforms.
The article makes a few more points. Check it out and tell me what you think.
Until Next Time...
Lauren!
