Education is what empowers the American people to fuel and drive the engine of productivity and progress. It is the foundation of a strong economy, vibrant democracy and healthy society. It is the vehicle for achieving the American Dream.
Vartan Gregorian, president of the Carnegie Foundation and former president of Brown University and the New York Public Library-----
"If you think education is expensive, try ignorance."

"There is a place in America to take a stand: it is public education. It is the underpinning of our cultural and political system. It is the great common ground. Public education after all is the engine that moves us as a society toward a common destiny... It is in public education that the American dream begins to take shape."
