Ned Lamont on Education Democratic Challenger

Teaching creationism blurs the line between church & state

Vouchers are not the answer; more support is

The answer is neither more standardized tests nor vouchers. We need to support universal pre-school to give kids a head start and offer their parents the best chance at providing for the household. We need trained, talented, and motivated teachers.

Increase funding for a 21st century education system

Vouchers distract from strong community public school system

A: One of the things I've enjoyed doing over the last couple of years is teaching a course up at an inner city high school in Bridgeport, on how to start your own business. We get successful entrepreneurs, mentors, folks from the community involved in the school and it gives kids something to dream about, something to inspire them, something to believe that they can learn again. I get a couple of messages out of that. One, I believe in a strong community public school system. Anything that distracts from that is a step in the wrong direction and does a disservice to our kids. And two, we've got to get the community involved in our schools. We need more parents, we need more coaches, we need more drama students, more drama instructors to help these kids, get them back into the classroom, to get them to believe that they can do it. We really are not doing that right now for our kids
