"Ours was the first revolution in the history of mankind that truly reversed the course of government, and with three little words: 'We the people.' 'We the people' tell the government what to do, it doesn't tell us. 'We the people' are the driver, the government is the car. And we decide where it should go, and by what route, and how fast. Almost all the world's constitutions are documents in which governments tell the people what their privileges are. Our Constitution is a document in which 'We the people' tell the government what it is allowed to do. 'We the people' are free."

March 11, 2009: Education in New Hampshire

There has been a lot of talk about the state of our financial markets and the potential overhauling our healthcare system, but what about the state of our education system? Are the educational needs of our children getting lost to other priorities?

How does the No Child Left Behind act work, and what is good about the act and bad about the act? Are the NH standards comparable to other state standards? How do they differ? What have other states done to improve their standards? What about National Standards?

What is Constructivism, and why is it in our classrooms? What should you know about NECAP testing? Where does Federal control in the classroom end, and Local control begin, and has the line been blurred?

Join host Jeff Chidester and educational advocates Ann-Marie Banfield and Jane Aitken, of Cornerstone Policy Research, as we discuss education in New Hampshire.

Also, we will recognize our Conservative of the Week, and introduce the new co-host/producer for Right Here, Right Now, Darryl Mundo.
