Saving and Creating Jobs and Reforming Education
“In a global economy where the most valuable skill you can sell is your knowledge, a good education is no longer just a pathway to opportunity—it is a pre-requisite. The countries that out-teach us today will out-compete us tomorrow.” - President Barack Obama, February 24, 2009

“The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly . . .”
“Now we have a choice—all of us—to get serious about education reform, to be honest with ourselves about what is and isn’t working. It starts by exposing the good, the bad, and the ugly—by celebrating what is right and good and successful—and by having the courage to change what is wrong for kids, for schools and for our future.”
- Secretary Arne Duncan, April 24, 2009
