Money Is Not The Reason That People

We've Seen More Reform In The Last Year Than We've Seen In Decades, And We Haven't Spent A Dime Yet. It's Staggering How The Recovery Act Is Driving Change.

What You See Around The World Is That Poverty Is Not Destiny. In Other Countries, Much More Systemically, Student After Student, School After School, Year After Year, Educate Poor And Disadvantaged Young People. And, So, Anyone Who Says That You Can't Overcome These Battles Is A Huge Part Of The Problem.

I Believe That Education Is The Civil Rights Issue Of Our Generation. And If You Care About Promoting Opportunity And Reducing Inequality, The Classroom Is The Place To Start. Great Teaching Is About So Much More Than Education; It Is A Daily Fight For Social Justice.

Other Countries Haves Passed Us By. They're Outworking Us. They're Outcompeting Us. We Have Got To Wake Up And We Have Got To Start Moving.

My Vision Is That Schools Need To Be Community Centers. Schools Need To Be Open 12, 13, 14 Hours A Day Six, Seven Days A Week, 12 Months Out Of The Year, With A Whole Host Of Activities, Particularly In Disadvantaged Communities.
