Unless we make education a priority, an entire generation of Americans could miss out on the American dream.

If we do not provide education for every single American, we are consigning those without an education to second-class status.

Education is a precondition to survival in America today.

Let us not, in the eagerness of our haste to educate, forget all the ends of education.

There is nothing more important to our Nation's future, to our homeland security, and to our economy than ensuring we have a top-notch educational system that is the envy of the world.

As we develop and get quicker with technology in America, it's like we're downgrading if you look at the investment in education... that's the thing that worries me.

Americans should understand that 50%, or something like, of the kids in inner-city schools, often poor and often minority, don't graduate. And the ones that do don't necessarily have the skills to get a job. That is the biggest disgrace in this country.

Our education system is not preparing young people for the world they will face.

We're going to have the best-educated American people in the world.

Too much of what is called 'education' is little more than an expensive isolation from reality.
