Political Quotes

They do not ask whether children's performance has actually improved. This is a visionary system where the school board or a superintendent or a local principal or teacher can lay out a vision for their schools and for their kids, and if the community buys into that vision, they will embrace it and they will donate into this system because we have seen it happen at the State level. So they have become visionaries and cheerleaders for their kids and their local school district, and they know if they are successful it will continue.”
