More From Donna Shalala
- "But I have a driver, so I can return calls while I’m in the car."
- "We know the parental support, community support, makes a difference. It’s not just the metrics of testing and putting pressure on the schools and on the teachers."
- "We need to drive down requirements for the schools. In the 19th century, we increased the quality of the schools by higher education saying, ‘You can’t come in unless you have these skills, unless you’ve taken these courses.’ We did that in Wisconsin when I was there, it helped to transform the secondary school system."
More In Education
- "It’s commonly said that people who’ve been ill in childhood and who’ve had an upset education never really regret that they do. It means that you don’t look at the world in the way that other people do, and if you were inclined to be a writer, that’s a help."― John Keegan
- "Every single major push in education has made it worse and right now it’s really bad because everything we’ve done is de-humanizing education. It’s destroying the possibility of the teacher and the student having a warm, friendly, intellectual relationship."― William Glasser
- "My education was the liberty I had to read indiscriminately and all the time, with my eyes hanging out."― Dylan Thomas
