Political Quotes

“For years now we have been looking to how to restore civility to the House. Now I know all we have to do is introduce a resolution supporting our teachers and we find the thing that all of us agree upon. I in Delaware have had the privilege of being in every single public school in my State--do not try that if you are in a big State--and almost all the private schools as well. When you spend 1 to 3 hours there, you obviously are going to touch in a lot of classrooms and watch a lot of teachers teaching. There may not be good teachers in our classrooms in Delaware, I cannot say for sure there is, but I have not seen one. I have seen devoted men and women who are trying to care for their kids, sometimes in one-on-one circumstances, other times in larger classroom circumstances.

When you choose teaching, you choose a profession which is of profound importance to every young person in this country and to our society as a whole.”
