"There was nothing more important I could do than be supportive as a dad." ― Arne Duncan Topic(s): Dad More From Arne Duncan "Most teachers still say they love teaching though they wouldn’t mind a little more respect for their challenging work and a little less blame for America’s educational shortcomings." "I think every student needs access to technology, and I think technology can be a hugely important vehicle to help level the playing field." "State governments generate less revenue in a recession. As state leaders struggle to make up for lost revenue, legislatures tend to cut funding for higher education. Colleges, in turn, answer these funding cuts with tuition hikes." More In Dad "I haven’t really decided to be an actor yet! I started doing plays when I was about 15 or 16. I only did it because my dad saw a bunch of pretty girls in a restaurant and he asked them where they came from and they said drama group. He said, ‘Son, that is where you need to go.’"― Robert Pattinson "It’s always been a dream of mine to get somewhere and to have my mom and dad with me up there."― Haley Reinhart "Marriage is an institution and that’s where a couple finish up."― Les Dawson
