“I think we all have to push toward that end, and I hope we can have a good bipartisan effort on that. There is no reason before we go home that we should not have the next sizable installment of those 100,000 new teachers on the way into classrooms in those early grades across this country, and there is no reason that we should not have this school construction program in place so that local school authorities, who know firsthand what the needs are, can take advantage of this and get those facilities on line. There has been a lot of talk about whether this Congress is going to go down in history as a high achiever or a low achiever. Right now it is looking more on the low side. What could change that would be for us to catch on fire here in these remaining weeks and do a job for public education.”
