In America the schools have become too permissive the kids now are controlling the schools the tail is wagging the dog. We've got to make a change there and get it back to where the teachers have control of the classrooms.
Interest in business ethics courses has surged and student activities at leading business schools are more focused than ever before on making business serve long-term social values.
The business schools reward difficult complex behavior more than simple behavior but simple behavior is more effective.
The Supreme Court has insulted you over and over again Lord. They've taken your Bible away from the schools. They've forbidden little children to pray. They've taken the knowledge of God as best they can and organizations have come into court to take the knowledge of God out of the public square of America.
I don't believe the most successful people are the ones who got the best grades got into the best schools or made the most money.
We have an obligation and a responsibility to be investing in our students and our schools. We must make sure that people who have the grades the desire and the will but not the money can still get the best education possible.
The phenomenon of home schooling is a wonderful example of the American can-do attitude. Growing numbers of parents have become disenchanted with government-run public schools. Many parents have simply taken matters into their own hands literally.
Because most of my career in the classroom has been at art schools (beginning at Bennington in the 1970s) I am hyper-aware of the often grotesque disconnect between commentary on the arts and the actual practice or production of the arts.
Irresponsibility is part of the pleasure of all art it is the part the schools cannot recognize.
I say that democracy can never prove itself beyond cavil until it founds and luxuriantly grows its own forms of art poems schools theology displacing all that exists or that has been produced anywhere in the past under opposite influences.
It is only an auctioneer who can equally and impartially admire all schools of art.
I believe very strongly and have fought since many years ago - at least over 30 years ago - to get architecture not just within schools but architecture talked about under history geography science technology art.
A man of eighty has outlived probably three new schools of painting two of architecture and poetry and a hundred in dress.
It is a matter of public shame that while we have now commemorated our hundredth anniversary not one in every ten children attending Public schools throughout the colonies is acquainted with a single historical fact about Australia.
Violence is a problem we all want to solve. I want to make sure that kids learn to deal with anger by learning how to talk with people to solve problems. Here in the United States Senate I want to make sure we have safe schools safe neighborhoods and good things for kids to do after school!
Despite the amazing diversity we're blessed with in this country schools are still in large part segregated because of economic disparity. Sports are one of the few areas where kids are really given the opportunity to interact with those of different races and religions.
There are amazing schools and amazing educators that are doing a wonderful job. And then there are a lot of educators that are not prepared to deal with inclusive education. They haven't been trained. It's really quite lovely and easy when you understand how to do it.
By 2050 the Australian population is expected to grow from 22 million to 36 million. That increase alone will put huge pressure on our towns and our cities. We will need more homes more roads more rail lines more hospitals more schools just to accommodate so many Australians.
I saw how many people were poor and how many kids my age went to school hungry in the morning which I don't think most of my contemporaries in racially segregated schools in the South thought very much about at the time.
