EdWeek reports that candidates have commented on education in recent ads and speeches.
“Senator McCain … is interested in empowering families and speaking directly to the educational needs of Americans, as opposed to the system,” said Eugene W. Hickok, a former deputy secretary of education under President Bush who is advising the McCain campaign. “Whereas Obama, beyond his mantra of more money, more money, is really just supporting these traditional approaches to the system.”
My read of this article is that policy comments follow fairly typical party lines. Still, the article offers a nice summary and includes the recent television ads in case you have decided to watch movies until mid November.
