Our nation's commitment is to provide a quality education to every child to serve the public common good. Accordingly, we must shift the paradigm to think of education funding as investments made in individual children, not in institutions or buildings. ”

If we can manage to break free, to open the system and embrace all choices for education, we will be the first to give politicians awards to hang on their office walls. ”

I look forward to talking about how we can work together to improve educational opportunities and outcomes for all students while also refocusing the federal role in education. ”

No child's dream should be limited by the quality, or lack thereof, of the education they receive. ”

When it comes to education, no solution, not even ones we like, should be dictated or run from Washington, D.C. ”

Above all, I believe every child, no matter their ZIP code or their parents' jobs, deserves access to a quality education. ”

Education broadens our horizons and enables us to confront realities we'd never before anticipated. ”

There are not enough philanthropic dollars in America to fund what is currently the need in education. ”

The bottom line is we believe that parents are the best equipped to make choices for their children's schooling and education decisions. ”

I need to stress that I could not be more supportive of great teachers and great teaching, no matter what kind of delivery vehicle they are teaching through. We have to support great teachers. They just have to be freed up to do what they do best. ”
