Political Quotes

“I favor reforms to the educational system that will make a significant difference in the delivery of educational services to our students. Period. I do not want to create just another expensive block grant program which does nothing more than perpetuate the status quo. While I will be one of the first to admit that our system is meeting the needs of students who are performing well, I also believe that we can and should continue to do better. I do not favor reforms that wrestle control of education away from State and local governments and place it in the hands of the Federal Government. Nor do I want a bill that places a government monitor at every stage of a student's development.”
