We've Seen More Reform In The Last

At A Time When Going To College Has Never Been More Important, It's Never Been More Expensive, And Our Nation's Families Haven't Been In This Kind Of Financial Duress Since The Great Depression. And So What We Have Is Just Sort Of A Miraculous Opportunity Simply By Stopping The Subsidy To Banks When We Already Have The Risk Of Loans. We Can Plow Those Savings Into Our Students. And We Can Make College Dramatically More Affordable, Tens Of Billions Of Dollars Over The Next Decade.

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.

Wherever You Find Something Extraordinary, You’ll Find The Fingerprints Of A Great Teacher.

Almost 24 Million Children - One In Three - Are Likely Growing Up Without Their Father Involved In Their Lives.

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.
