Both presidential candidates were asked to speak to GMA on the issue they felt most passionate about. Bush, who went first, picked education. Some might say a revolution is in order to change America's schools. Revolution or not, the real key to reforming America's public schools is focusing on fundamentals, Bush said. I think it's going to take reforms.
Revolution means kind of blowing up the whole thing.
But Bush said there's not enough money in the budget to make good on the promise. Now, if the federal government says, we're going to fund universal preschool, you know, they've got to do it. He would rather allow school districts the flexibility to choose to have either pre-kindergarten or kindergarten. He also proposed improving the existing Head Start programs. And the primary focus of Head Start ought to be education.
