- "By far the most important factor in the success or failure of any school, far more important than tests or standards or business-model methods of accountability, is simply attracting the best-educated, most exciting young people into urban schools and keeping them there."

- "We are now operating a school system in America that’s more segregated than at any time since the death of Martin Luther King."
