“All of our efforts to improve education for America's children are aimed at, in the words of Gen. Colin Powell, allowing all the children in our country to share in the American dream. A good education is not necessary to obtain the American dream, but it is certainly your best bet on the road to achieving it. Colin Powell has been going around the country talking about the fact that there are still Americans who are not sharing in that dream and ability to succeed in life. One reason they are not is because too many children live in neighborhoods with bad schools and their parents lack the resources to send their children to a private school or to a good public school, a better one in their neighborhood. One way we can help those parents who care deeply about the education of their children is to pass legislation called A-plus Accounts. These are education savings accounts that will make it a little easier for parents who want their children to share in the American dream.”
