Obama's First Small Stride to Educational Excellence

Fact Sheet: The Race to the Top | The White House: "Backed by a historic $4.35 billion investment, the reforms contained in the Race to the Top will help prepare America's students to graduate ready for college and career, and enable them to out-compete any worker, anywhere in the world. "

We're getting to the common sense
Needed to to turn a tragic tide

And incidentally a renewed economy, but who puts that equation together.
