And also why Obama is so very committed to improving public education.

It has really galled me as a US citizen who has lived abroad and seen their schools, how undemocratic the system is in the USA.

To base school funding, equipment and facilities upon the local tax base seems really unfair.

There should be national standards for a high quality education for all citizens.
