CNNの記事、'Obama has long way to go on education reform' By Pedro Nogueraから。

'President Obama should be applauded for keeping education at the top of the nation's policy agenda at a time when so many other important issues -- the ongoing recession, two wars, health care, etc. -- demand his attention.

He was right to urge parents to do their part to reinforce the importance of education with their children, and he is to be commended for recognizing the important role of teachers who so often are blamed for the failings of our nation's schools.

But Obama should be less boastful and more circumspect in describing what his administration has accomplished in education. When he declared that Race to the Top was "the most meaningful reform of our public schools in a generation," he clearly went a bit too far.'
