Schieffer: Do you feel that our education system falling behind has a national security implication?
Obama: "We've got to get our education system right." Debate between more money or reform. "I think we need both." Early childhood education important. Critically important for us to recruit a generation of new teachers. 4K tuition credit for every student, every year. Parents are going to have to show more responsibility, turn off the tv set and the video games.
McCain: "It's the civil rights issue of the 21st Century." Fruitless, though, to send children to failing public schools. Vouchers is one answer.
