Providing our children the high-quality education they need to succeed is one of the greatest challenges we face as a Nation.

There's not a single soul in this room or in this entire country who believes that our children are as safe as they ought to be.

We owe it to our children and the dreams we have for them, to make sure that the next President of the United States is Al Gore.

Every child in America should have this opportunity, and we are trying to give it to every child in America.

I want them to take this as an enormous opportunity to build the future of our dreams for all the children of this country.

We're losing 13 kids a day.

I think this is once again a call to us to do whatever we can to protect our children from this sort of violence and this tragedy.

Every child deserves a high-quality education.

We will not fail our children by tolerating failing schools.

Every American child deserves a high-quality elementary and secondary education.

I have waited over 30 years for my country to be in a position to build the future of our dreams for our children.

The impact of this bill is likely to fall most harshly on the poor, the elderly, and children.

We now have a chance to write the future of America and our children in a new millennium, and we better not blow it.

It is important that all of our children learn and that we develop a level of comfort with basic technology and basic scientific concepts.

Making our schools work for all America's children is the most important challenge we face.

America will never have a better time to face its biggest problems; America will never have a better time to save all of its children.

Every day, every day we lose more than a dozen kids to violence.

It would be a tragedy for our security and for our children's future to let this opportunity slip away.
