Schools And Districts And Unions Are Working

There's So Much That We're Doing Wrong Today. And Studies Show We're One Of Three Countries That Doesn't Invest More In Disadvantaged Communities.

Other Countries Have Outeducated Us. They Have Made This A Priority. And A Big Part Of What I'm Trying To Do, Frankly, Is Raise The Profile Of Education And Get America To Wake Up.

States Should Not Balance Their Budgets On The Backs Of Students.

Borrowing To Pay For College Used To Be The Exception; Now It's The Rule.

This Is A Devastating Problem, Is, The Longer Our Children Are In School, The Worse They Do. Year After Year After Year, Our Children In America Are Falling Further Behind. Our 3- And 4-year-olds Enter Kindergarten Ok, And They Fall Further And Further Behind. Each Year, Children In Other Countries Are Learning More Than Children In This Country. And So The Gap Between American Student Performance In Singapore And Finland And South Korea And Canada And These Other Countries, The Gap Widens Year After Year After Year.
