When I was in school, my mother stressed education. I am so glad she did. I graduated from Yale College and Yale University with my master's and I didn't do it by missing school.

I pledge to you today that as president, in my first budget, I will introduce the largest increase in special education ever.

Education commences at the mother's knee, and every word spoken within hearsay of little children tends toward the formation of character.

Experts tell us that 90% of all brain development occurs by the age of five. If we don't begin thinking about education in the early years, our children are at risk of falling behind by the time they start Kindergarten.

If you improve education by teaching for competence, eliminating schooling, and connecting with students, the test scores will improve.
