Education needs to be personalized and flexible, which means education policy needs to originate from our local communities and not from some bureaucrats in Washington, D.C.

It is the local community that needs to own the commitment to education.

Also, if we take back our schools and concentrate on improving them so our children get a better education, they will be better trained to compete for a job locally.

Education is the cornerstone of our communities and our country.

School reform is not enough. The notion of schooling itself must be challenged.

Having got the best of education myself, I firmly believe it is my personal obligation to give back to the community.

Our schools should get five years to get back to where they were in 1963. If they're still bad maybe we should declare educational bankruptcy, give the people their money and let them educate themselves and start their own schools.

It just felt like the right thing to do to give back to a state school and public school. I'm a really big fan of public education.

Racial segregation has come back to public education with a vengeance.

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