"The theme of this year's American Education Week, 'Education Can Turn Things Around,' expresses our faith in the power of education."
"Now, Therefore, I, Jimmy Carter, do hereby designate the week beginning November 12, 1978, as American Education Week."
"I believe that this is unacceptable in a nation where all levels of government spend ever-increasing amounts of money for education while getting less results in the actual performance of our students..."
"I hope that the Congress will be able to enact the necessary legislation before adjournment sine die."
