Dear Friend:
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on education.B I appreciate hearing from
you.B I am committed to providing the best possible education for our Nation's
students because our children deserve it and because, today more than ever,
America's prosperity rests on how well we educate them.
B
Across the country, we have many great schools and dedicated teachers.B We
should be proud of these successes, and eager to discover and support what
makes them great.B We must also realize that not all children get the
education they deserve, and many schools need urgent reform to better help our
students reach their full potential.B
B
Through the Recovery Act, my Administration has made a historic investment
toward improving public education and providing greater access to a complete
and competitive education for every child.B This investment will make
high-quality, early learning programs available to more young children.B The
Recovery Act will also help strengthen the teaching profession by recognizing
talented teachers who improve learning and by encouraging them to stay in the
schools that need them most.B We are committed to exploring innovative
approaches that advance teaching and learning through high standards and
expectations for all students, and to developing meaningful assessments.B
These steps can ensure our graduates are prepared for success both in their
higher education and careers.B
B
A child's education does not begin and end with a school bell, and
responsibility must extend beyond a school's walls.B Our future success
depends on a greater level of engagement between parents, communities, and
schools on behalf of children.B We all share the duty to educate our students,
and if we hold them to the highest standards, they will meet them.B Please

Sincerely,
Barack Obama
