I think foreign policy is the most important issue facing our country right now because we are currently involved overseas and in the middle of dealing with these urgent issues. There is a vast range of opinions on what should be done, and not enough agreement to do anything. Almost all of the candidates are against the Common Core education program, but Jeb Bush supports it. I don’t completely understand what the Common Core program is, and I couldn’t find a clear explanation, but based on my weak understanding, I think it seems like a good idea. I agree with Jeb Bush that this program could be really good for students. He talks about his students in Florida improving with this program and raising the graduation rate by 50%. If that is true then that’s proof that this program can work for some students. I would have liked it if he had addressed why everyone thinks this is a bad program and how he came to his conclusion on this issue. I wasn’t able to find much about this program so I want to know more about it before making a decision. I also want to see some more evidence supporting it, and evidence opposing it, so that I can form an educated and informed opinion.
