This years mayoral elections have become quite challenging due to the terrorist
            
             attacks on the U.S. the day of the primaries. Incredibly the candidates managed to pull
            
             through and prove us that they are eager and prepared to win the elections. Two of the
            
             candidates whom in my opinion made the best points on education were Michael
            
             Bloomberg, a republican and Mark Green, a democrat.
            
             Michael Bloomberg visualizes a major improvement in all aspects of education.
            
             First Bloomberg would like to put an end to the Board of Education. This means that the
            
             education system would be run by the Mayor, City Council, and a Commissioner of
            
             Education. Another proposition made was that all teachers be re-evaluated every two
            
             years in order to make sure all are well qualified to teach our children. To achieve better
            
             communication between parents and teachers a "Parent's Voicemail System" should be
            
             established in which a parent and teacher hold a meeting at the students home. This
            
             system will also improve communication between parents and their children, which
            
             might improve students attendance and performance in school. Bloomberg encourages
            
             after school programs to aid students in their academic performance as well as assures
            
             that the $12 million for education will be spent wisely to benefit our students.
            
             Mark Green has also set some important goals for the education system. As
            
             Bloomberg, Green would also like to replace the Board of Education with a more
            
             effective committee. Green's major concern is overcrowding in classrooms. Smaller
            
             classrooms provide a better learning environment, for more time is dedicated on each
            
             student by the teacher. Another issue of Green's concern is upgrading schools by
            
             supplying classrooms with computers. This will give our students more access to modern
            
             technology. Green stands up for teachers by promising better working...
