Improving our schools

As being the nations first lady, Hillary promoted the Prescription for Reading Program. Hillary knows that parents are our children's first teachers and the early years have a tremendous impact on children's lives. That is why she is investing heavily in proven strategies to get all children ready for school. Some of her strategies are: nurse home visitation programs, quality child care and head start and pre kindergarten for all 4 years old. Hillary also knows that we have to improve our k-12 system. As president she will: end the unfunded mandate of no child left behind, double the after school program, invest $100 million in a new public/private summer internship and meet the funding promises of IDEA to ensure that children with special needs get all the attention they need. In the 21st century, a college education is more important than ever. That is why Hilary's plan will make college more affordable and accessible. She will: create a new $3,500 cash tax credit and create a graduation fund to increase college graduation grades. - Sahiba
