On the first day of school, children need to know letters and numbers. They need a strong vocabulary. And they need to love books.
We want every citizen in this country to be able to get the skills necessary to fill the jobs of the 21st Century.
Teaching is one of the great callings, one of the most noble professions, and America deeply appreciates the service of America's teachers.
We want America to be promising for every single child of every background so that not one single child in America is left behind.
