Bob Schaffer: “It is the fundamental right and obligation of parents to direct the education and upbringing of their children.”

You can't have all of this change that has been developed in the states or all of the reluctance to change that has been developed in other states and say that this is somehow one-size-fits-all.

I really enjoyed the chance to discuss and act on issues similar to the ones you're considering today.

Granting more freedom from federal mandates of--federal mandates of NCLB--does not mean lowering the bar for any child.

I have become deeply convinced of the value of parental involvement in education.
