You Tube Debate Questions on Education Not that Bad

Okay, I lied, one more post on the presidential race and then I will stop (for a while), I promise.

So, I was browsing around You Tube and I started noticing a lot of the same type of Videos popping up. It turns out, this crazy CNN/You Tube Debate(s) that is coming up next week for the Democrats and in September for the Republicans is generating a lot of interesting questions on education. I am surprised how many teachers took advantage of this opportunity to make their questions heard. Probably, they will take at least one question on education and there are a lot of great questions from teachers to choose from. I am pleasantly surprised and excited to see how this works in a presidential debate.

Here are some of my favorites, but feel free to browse around You Tube yourself to find your favorite questions.
