I Think The Best Thing That Happened

In America, Your Zip Code Or Your Socioeconomic Status Should Never Determine The Quality Of Your Education.

Far Too Many Of Our Children Today, Our Students, Need Remedial Education. We Have Been Lying To Them. They're Not Really Ready For College. That's Not Higher Education's Fault. That's Our Fault K-12.

Research Shows That Children Do Better In School And Are Less Likely To Drop Out When Fathers Are Involved. Engaged Parents Can Strengthen Communities, Mentor And Tutor Students, And Demonstrate Through Their Actions How Much They Value Their Children's Education.

Surveys Show That Many Talented And Committed Young People Are Reluctant To Enter Teaching For The Long Haul Because They Think The Profession Is Low-paying And Not Prestigious Enough.

We Need To Invest In Very Different Ways. Get The Students The Support They Need, Get Them The Best Principals, Get Them The Great Teachers, And I Promise You Those Students Would Do Extraordinarily Well. I Have Seen It All My Life.
