  • In 2006, the Virginia Education Association endorsed Jim Webb's Senate campaign. According to The Daily Press, "The Virginia Education Association, in conjunction with its national affiliate, cited Webb's opposition to school vouchers and President Bush's Social Security privatization plan, plus Webb's pledge to seek more funding for public education."[1]
  • During his 2006 Senate campaign, Webb expressed his support for the No Child Left Behind Act but criticized its implementation. He said, "You have federal requirements that are being put into place without the full amount of funding so that local jurisdictions are having to make up the difference, which is taking money away from other things they could be doing," Webb said. According to The Washington Post, Webb "also said the law places too much focus on teaching 'toward standards' instead of teaching students to 'think and adapt.'"[2]
