Tom Harkin actually said...

When we fail to properly educate children, we, as educators, perpetuate poverty, and we perpetuate social failure.

We have just got to somehow break this thing down and get these two together in how we focus education on these young kids.

We must understand that education begins at birth, and the preparation for education begins before birth.

I believe that we must invest in education to ensure that every child has the opportunity to succeed.
