Open for Questions on Education: What You Missed

On Friday, Secretary Arne Duncan answered your questions about the Administration's Education efforts.  We took questions from MSN, whitehouse.gov and facebook, and covered a range of topics from 'No Child Left Behind' and education financing to healthier food in schools and promoting STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) subjects.  You can check out the full video of the chat or use the links below to skip to your favorite questions.
