Students Get Voice In Mock Election

The historic inauguration of Barack Obama is a timely reminder of the importance of our right to vote. Last fall, more than five million students from across the U.S. participated in the nations oldest, largest, and most successful voter-education project, The National Student/Parent Mock Election, for which the Pearson Foundation served as a partner. Students got into the political spirit by holding debates, hanging posters, and even taking to the airwaves to announce the results. Regardless of who they voted for, participating in the Mock Election helped students discover what it means to be an American citizen. Tune in and join the campaign trail
