PDK/Gallup: Obama on education. Scrap NCLB.
2008 August 21
A poll by Phi Delta Kappa and Gallup show more Americans think Obama is better than McCain on education. A low bar to be sure, but just the same. Only 16 percent support the extension of NCLB in its present form. Twenty-seven percent say we should dump NCLB entirely.

Sherman Dorn was interested in the responses. But when he saw the demographics of the sample, his jaw dropped.
65% women, 84% white, 50% aged 50 and older, 44% college graduates (and 71% with some college experience), 43% with incomes $50K and above, and 19% from the Census West region of the country.
And here I thought that was the standard research sample. Except for the woman part.
Matthew Tabor mentioned me in some weird crap he wrote on his excuse for an ed blog. I approved it just for grins. I’m actually interested to see if I get any referrals from his blog. Kind of tells me if anyone is reading his. WordPress stats are good that way.
