John McCain Coins

Education, John McCain coins three words: excellence, choice, competition. He wants involved and empowered parents combined with excellent teachers. American education must be worthy of promise we make to our children and ourselves. He is committed to equal opportunity and believes there is no equal opportunity without equal access to excellent education. He believes in the ability of all students to access schools of demonstrated excellence, including home. We cannot eliminate options if we wish to keep up with the industrialized world. If school is not changing, students change schools: parents choice. (McCain)

I like McCain’s choice of words. Excellence is the quality of being outstanding or extremely good. Choice the ability to make a selection or decision. Competition is the action of competing, opposing. I like his choice of competition because I believe that is what giving parent’s a choice will do between schools. The choice that creates competition will lead to school excellence. Empowering parents is to give them authority, there’s a role changer. Teachers, principals and the government usually hold the power. Involved parents wish to select a proper school for their children. Uninvolved parents take no interest. Involved parents certainly need to hold the power. Excellent teachers will flock to excellent schools. Excellent schools will provide resources. Excellent teachers will use beneficial resources in the classroom. All the excellence put forth in the school will account for its excellent students. McCain’s equal opportunity creed is seen in his equal access belief and in the fact of him choosing a female vice president nominee. I am a female. I like the empowerment. I believe in effective, constructive, and encouraging home schooling. I like that McCain recognizes home schooling by saying home schooling has the ability of establishing excellence. I agree that America must leave schooling options open for all children. A child must feel comfortable at school. Families should never have to relocate their homes based on school districts and zoning. Parents will determine educational road to drive on, to and from school. McCain and I believe parents have the right to choose. Failing schools will be forced to improve. Polish or funds cut. Better or fire teacher. Update or report to parents. A reign of education excellence. Schools are encouraged to alter.
