The Republicans want to go home. The Democrats want to go to work. This has been a do-nothing Congress. The fact of the matter is, Americans want a couple of simple things. They want more teachers; Americans understand that we need more teachers in our early-year classrooms in order to reduce class size. Take it wherever you want, north, south, east or west, people will tell us they need smaller classes, more teachers, better trained teachers. The Democrats want to do that; the Republicans want to go home. Talk to Americans and they will also tell us we need school modernization. We have overcrowded classrooms, we have classrooms that are not wired to have Internet access. We need modernization. We need technological upgrades. We would like to do that. We would like to invest in education; the Republicans want to go home. In the final analysis, actions speak louder than words. The fact of the matter is, they have failed. They have not delivered on education. We need to go to work; we do not need to go home.
