When I Ask Teachers Why They Teach,

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 Think It's My Job To Tell The Truth.

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.

When I Ask Teachers Why They Teach, They Almost Always Say That It Is Because They Want To Make A Difference In The Lives Of Children.
