"Education can lift individuals out of poverty and into rewarding careers." ― Christine Gregoire Topic(s): Education More From Christine Gregoire "One of the most powerful tools for empowering individuals and communities is making certain that any individual who wants to receive a quality education can do so." "When nearly a third of our high school students do not graduate on time with their peers, we have work to do. We must design our middle and high schools so that no student gets lost in the crowd and disconnected from his or her own potential." "There is just no reason why the richest nation in the world can’t provide health care to all its people." More In Education "Men are born ignorant, not stupid. They are made stupid by education."― Bertrand Russell "I had the most reversed education possible. Every parent wants their son to be a businessman, respectable – me, it was the opposite. When I had an artist career my mum was like, ‘Oh finally, I’m proud of you!’"― David Guetta "No group and no government can properly prescribe precisely what should constitute the body of knowledge with which true education is concerned."― Franklin D. Roosevelt
