Race to the Top

The U.S. Department of Education has announced a new state-level race to the top grant competition.  States will be competing for $500 million.  To win, states must improve their early learning programs including the availability of them, improving the quality and enhancing them overall.

While I think the prize might be a bit high, I agree with this competition.  Education needs to start early, and it needs a solid, effective program.  By forcing states that compete to improve their early education systems, we are building the future for better students overall.
