Political Quotes

“Over the last 3 years, many on the Committee on Education and the Workforce have had the opportunity to travel around the country... We have learned that parental involvement, safe classrooms, basic academics, and focusing dollars into the classrooms are the things that work. One of the things we found as we went around the country is we had the opportunity consistently to hear success stories about our public schools, our private schools, parochial schools; but also in many of the instances we had the opportunity to hear firsthand about the successes of home schoolers. We have to recognize that in today's environment people want to make choices about education. What this resolution does, it recognizes the contribution that those who choose home schooling make to educational excellence in America today.”
