All children should have equal opportunities.

Different parents have different standards for their children.

Giving children a fair chance to achieve their dreams and reach their potential is everyone's responsibility.

We expect teachers to handle teenage pregnancy, substance abuse, and the failings of the family. Then we expect them to educate our children.

All over the world, children facing the challenges of poverty attend schools that aren't designed to meet their extra needs; across country lines, the lives of marginalized kids look far more similar than they do different.

I never thought it was fair for an 8-year-old child not to be able to afford shoes, or to wander the streets having to beg for money. To know that child's joy would end soon, when they realised there was no future.

Women are treated differently by society for exactly the same reason that children and the mentally handicapped are treated differently.

If you're financially responsible, your children have a much better chance to grow up financially responsible.

It is impossible to treat a child too well. Children are spoiled by being ignored too much or by harshness, not by kindness.

I'll tell you what the real problem is: These people are working under the assumption that they know better about what is good for kids, what kids need to learn to get ahead in this world.
