We need to drive down requirements for the schools. In the 19th century we increased the quality of the schools by higher education saying 'You can't come in unless you have these skills unless you've taken these courses.' We did that in Wisconsin when I was there it helped to transform the secondary school system.

Catholic schools in our Nation's education have been paramount in teaching the values that we as parents seek to instill in our children.

If the Liberals' law is passed will sex education in the schools including elementary grades include the same portrayals of sexual activity which presently exist in heterosexual instruction? Will there be the same presentation of homosexual activity? Of course there will.

So I want my kids to go to public schools because I think it's a better education overall.

I believe public education is the new civil rights battle and I support charter schools.

During the decades after Brown v. Board of Education there was terrific progress. Tens of thousands of public schools were integrated racially. During that time the gap between black and white achievement narrowed.

Freedom begins with what we teach our children. That is why Jews became a people whose passion is education whose heroes are teachers and whose citadels are schools.

If we had in this room a hundred teachers good teachers from good schools and asked them to define the word education there would be very little general agreement.

The Founding Fathers in their wisdom decided that children were an unnatural strain on parents. So they provided jails called schools equipped with tortures called an education.

I had become increasingly concerned in recent years about the lack of civics education in our nation's schools. In recent years the schools have stopped teaching it. And it's unfortunate.

In the government schools which are referred to as public schools Indian policy has been instituted there and its a policy where they do not encourage in fact discourage critical thinking and the creation of ideas and public education.

I am entirely certain that twenty years from now we will look back at education as it is practiced in most schools today and wonder that we could have tolerated anything so primitive.

The principle goal of education in the schools should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things not simply repeating what other generations have done.

Academic qualifications are important and so is financial education. They're both important and schools are forgetting one of them.

Sex education may be a good idea in the schools but I don't believe the kids should be given homework.

If the education of our kids comes from radio television newspapers - if that's where they get most of their knowledge from and not from the schools then the powers that be are definitely in charge because they own all those outlets.

When nearly a third of our high school students do not graduate on time with their peers we have work to do. We must design our middle and high schools so that no student gets lost in the crowd and disconnected from his or her own potential.

Design schools are good I guess sometimes I visit schools but they are very very limiting.

People tell you the world looks a certain way. Parents tell you how to think. Schools tell you how to think. TV. Religion. And then at a certain point if you're lucky you realize you can make up your own mind. Nobody sets the rules but you. You can design your own life.

My dad was in the army so we moved around a lot and I changed schools every year and had to make new friends and I found that if I was the funny guy I could do that easier.

I was really bright as a kid and tested well and it was clear that I was going to get scholarships to any schools I wanted. My dad always said I could be an engineer at that time it was the elite of society: steady job working in science which was then the answer to every problem we had. It was kind of a mandate. Kind of a dream he had for me.

The founder of the Mona Foundation actually knew my dad for years and the more I learned about it the more I realized I really found the perfect charity. It sponsors schools and educational initiatives all over the planet.

If I was designing a web site for elementary school children I might have a much higher percentage of older computers with outdated browsers since keeping up with browser and hardware technology has not traditionally been a strong point of most elementary schools.

We have an epidemic of sexual predators following our children whether it be on the computers whether it be in our public parks whether it be in the workplace or even our schools.
