What we know is the workplace is more demanding than ever before.

We know that if we're going to remain economically competitive in the world, and viable as a civic democracy, that we're going to have to get more people educated to higher levels.

The long and short of it is, we need more rigor in all kinds of programs.

I think it'd be useful for parents to know kind of what is the culture of an institution.

My understanding is that Kansas, Massachusetts, they've been more pioneers on the special education side.

I mean, one thing I know about change is we are not going to close the achievement gap without educators.
