A former First Lady and Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton has a significant amount of experience in the political world. She has lived in the White House and has also worked as a Senator while in office. An avid politician, Hillary Clinton has the political experience needed to succeed in becoming president. However, she cannot rely only on her experiences in her path to the presidency. She has to appeal to the public through her policies in order to truly receive their vote and become the next president of the United States. She plans to fix the immigration system and expand on Obama’s plans to allow more immigrants to enter the United States. Her plan for education will reduce the amount of testing in schools and ensure that every child

As president, Clinton will listen to the teachers and give them the resources needed, such as training and support, to help the students learn and thrive (“A World-Class Education for Every Child in Every Community”). Teachers watch their students grow and succeed; they teach their students everything they know, hoping the students will apply that knowledge to help shape the world. They do not just teach students information on a certain topic; they teach them character traits such as honesty, responsibility, respect, and a sense of accomplishment. Nevertheless, at the end of the day, no one acknowledges what they have done for society, and they make significantly less money than other professions, such as doctors or engineers. Clinton will thus compensate teachers by recognizing the effort they put in to teach students based on student test scores (Camera).

According to a national poll, Americans agree with Clinton and think schools put too much emphasis on tests, which should not judge a school’s, a teacher’s, or a student’s performance (Layton). She agrees with the Obama administration that tests, especially standardized testing, “must be worth taking, high quality, time-limited, fair, fully transparent to students and parents, just one of multiple …show more content…
Her past votes and interventions have come back to haunt her during debates and people are questioning her plans for foreign policy based on her past decisions. The media and her other Democratic opponents have repeatedly hammered her on her vote for the Iraq War in 2002 and her intervention in Libya. As former Secretary of State, she is the only candidate who is most informed about international affairs; however, her positions on foreign policy seem confused, especially concerning ISIS and Middle East politics (Frank). The way Clinton wants to deal with foreign policy puts her in a tight position among voters since her views seem vastly different from theirs. Clinton wants to “take action and is sick of restraint” (Taylor) whereas more Americans oppose any intervention in foreign affairs (Taylor). When asked about Syrian rebels, Clinton “said the sort of thing that some Republicans say when they do not know what else to say” (Frank) by stating that the United States need to keep up the alliance with the Turks, Jordanians, and other partners. She doesn’t know how to answer this dilemma, nor does she want to deal with the consequences even though, according to polls, 45% of registered voters say terrorism plays a huge role in nominating the next president and 30% claim foreign policy will serve as a
