The most necessary task of civilization is to teach people how to think. It should be the primary purpose of our public schools. The mind of a child is naturally active, it develops through exercise. Give a child plenty of exercise, for body and brain. The trouble with our way of educating is that it does not give elasticity to the mind. It casts the brain into a mold.

It's about ensuring a system where all Americans have access to health care, instead of a steadily declining share of our population. Paul Wellstone
In search of a complete education with the ideals of trust, faith, understanding and compassion, many families are turning to the structure, discipline and academic standards of Catholic schools. Mark Foley
By offering an education centered on values, the faculty in Catholic schools can create an interactive setting between parents and students that is geared toward long-term healthy character and scholastic development for all enrolled children. Mark Foley
The best defense against these people is to educate parents and children of the dangers that come along with the Internet and by limiting access to certain sites during the school day. Mike Fitzpatrick
