Obama raised the maximum Pell Grant to $5,500 since 2008.
What Obama is doing with this is increasing our education as Americans. Which.. we need. Not everybody, but you know somebody who needs to be a little more educated. With this, college is becoming slowly more affordable for students. It encourages students at a young age to do well in high school so you can get into a good college to get a better career. Now having a second-post degree is a prerequisite for this generation's jobs. All at a price to afford. More teachers are being hired to teach more areas of learning to educate a higher percentage of our youth. Great to help Obama's unemployment rate drop, but not necessarily the best for the youth. As a student of this generation's youth, I can safely say I've seen some teachers with no ambition to do their job as a teacher and this severely affects how we as a generation are being taught. Instead of increase the number of teachers, why don't we up the requirements to be a teacher? Then, I think a significant increase of intelligence will be reflected from the youth.
"22 million K-12 students are benefiting from President Obama's historic form."
I wouldn't call it "benefiting". I'd more or less call it "growing up in". Obama is encouraging online learning with technology. Past generation complains that we are glued to our phone, and we don't know how to do anything without the internet or the "old fashion" style. But can you blame us? Look at what we are growing up with, technology is there to do it for us. I'm not siding with any one here but it's hard make sense out of complaining that technology is ruining the way we as a country function when all we do is enforce it. We're basically adapting to it and it won't be long till the entire world (disregarding 3rd world countries, you do you) cannot function without technology.
