Ronald Reagan actually said...

"Continued opportunity and growth for a generation—that's what is at stake."

"Too many schools had turned to fads like grade inflation and abolishing basic requirements."

"Now, it may sound strange to say that the emphasis on quality is new, but a few years ago it seemed that we'd lost sight of excellence as the goal in education."

"Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest."
