But Greg received a great education, thanks to dedicated teachers and administrators. My youngest son, Christopher, is now a grade 2 student, and I just want the same thing for him.

If you want a quality school, and that's what I want to see, you have to spend the money necessary to build it. The more this school can offer future generations, the better it will be. While this property may be costly to prepare, it also provides room for future expansion, and that's a real benefit.

If people are well paid for reality television and cotton candy and dunking a basketball, why can't they be well paid for changing young minds?

Hopefully, we can make some good cuts without affecting education. We don't want to cut the teachers or supplies. Education is the bottom line.

Here, let me break it down for you,
so you know what I say is true:
Teachers? Teachers make a difference!
Now what about you?

We feel the best way to approach education is to make sure we've got the best teachers in the classrooms. You keep them there by paying better teachers higher salaries.
