With the gubernatorial election fast approaching, The Washington Post has launched a six-week video series on the key issues surrounding the 2010 gubernatorial election.  One of the issues gaining steam is the performance of the Maryland educational system.  While Maryland’s school systems have been ranked as number one in the nation by Education Week, a national education publication, both gubernatorial candidates have varying perspectives on whether Maryland schools are providing the best academic environment for students.  Governor Martin O’Malley and former Governor Robert Ehrlich Jr. offer their opinions in this video.
