President Obama ended his two-day tour of Ohio and Nevada with a grassroots event in Las Vegas. President Obama discussed the choice in this election between two fundamentally different visions of how to grow the economy, create middle-class jobs, pay down the debt and invest in quality, affordable education.

Kevin: "Some of our children's greatest experiences have been in the smaller classrooms."

Voiceover: "But Mitt Romney says classroom sizes don't matter and he supports Paul Ryan's budget which could cut education by 20%."

Kevin: "You can't do this by shoving thirty, thirty-five people in a class and just teaching to some test."

Voiceover: "Mitt Romney on how to pay for college and start a business..."

Mitt Romney: "Take a risk, get the education, borrow money if you have to from your parents'"

Voiceover: "Hope they can afford it."

"Romney's plans could cut college aid for nearly ten million students and eliminate the tax deduction for college tuition."

Teachers and educational professionals from across the country are coming together to support the President. In this video, educators share why education is important and why they stand with President Obama.
