I see it at Mathman HS. Education is sometimes valued but the issues of daily life prevent students from success. The issues take on a life of their own and students and parents can't overcome them. During my five years at the school, I have seen so much potential ruined by drugs, pregnancy and ignorance.

I heard Obama proposing affordable college in exchange for, I believe, a period of public service ... and Clinton discussing a new GI Bill that would put real teeth in military benefits. I don't want to hold my breath, but the mention of higher education in widely broadcast stump speeches is a positive, and welcome, note. If either reach the Oval Office, we will need to hold their feet to the fire on campaign promises. Nice format and content — well done.
