You cannot simply put more money into the same system and get better results, so we will need to reform and innovate in the delivery of education.

I'm not one of those who thinks the only way to fix what's wrong with American education is to throw more money at it. We also need to do it much better.

The one thing we can do is invest in the quality of education, especially higher education.

It's quite fashionable to say that the educational system is broken. It's not broken. It's wonderfully constructed. It's just that we don't need it anymore.

I feel that education needs an overhaul - courses are obsolete and grades are on the way out.

As somebody who visits countless schools, I see firsthand the dire situation our educational system faces.

Given the best of all possible worlds, I would make a few changes. I would place emphasis on increasing the amount of funding that goes into programs like Pell Grants, that purely and simply award funds to students who really cannot afford full tuition.

It's time to return our education policy back to local communities.

As a society, we can and should invest more money in education.

This is not a skill problem, this is a will problem. Does America have the will to make education a priority? We know the things that work. Why don't we scale up those things that do work.
