"A postsecondary education is the ticket to economic success in America." ― Arne Duncan Topic(s): Education More From Arne Duncan "Research shows that children do better in school and are less likely to drop out when fathers are involved. Engaged parents can strengthen communities, mentor and tutor students, and demonstrate through their actions how much they value their children’s education." "Teachers say their schools of education did not adequately prepare them for the classroom. They would have welcomed more mentoring and feedback in their early years." "I think every student needs access to technology, and I think technology can be a hugely important vehicle to help level the playing field." More In Education "Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you’re a man, you take it."― Malcolm X "Unfortunately, the elimination of incentives such as parole, good time credits and funding for college courses, means that fewer inmates participate in and excel in literacy, education, treatment and other development programs."― Bobby Scott "The Catholic Church – it’s so difficult because I don’t want say anything offensive but it makes me very angry that religious leaders from this faith have tried to respond negatively to sexual education and to the promotion of condom use."― Emma Thompson
