The role of the educator is to prepare students to take their places in society through providing them with the skills and knowledge they will need to participate fully and successfully in the life of our country and the world. To do anything less is to cheat students, to perpetuate patterns of inequity, and to deny individuals opportunities for a good life.

"We could lead the world in a new direction: one of peace, prosperity, and health. By creating a new world-class curriculum based on kindness, thinking, problem solving, and communication, the United States could exhibit the courage necessary to lead the world in a better direction. This is not a watering down of the educational system. In fact, I see it as just the opposite, What I am calling for is a revolution in education that would catapult us into a new age."
