He managed to state that one, he was playing “classical” music; that two, he was doing it “softly”; and that three, “there were not many readers around in summer.” I was there, a one-man multitude. Vladimir Nabokov
With Michigan's economic future on the line, we can't afford to have our 500 local school districts marching in different directions. Instead, we need a high standards, mandatory curriculum to get all our students on the road to higher education and a good paying job. Jennifer Granholm
If you improve education by teaching for competence, eliminating schooling, and connecting with students, the test scores will improve. William Glasser
