"So I want my kids to go to public schools because I think it’s a better education overall." ― Charles Schumer Topic(s): Education More From Charles Schumer "I think teaching should be an exalted profession, not a picked-on profession." "I respect people who feel things passionately. I do. But when someone is a judge, that is not what they should bring to the bench. It is not really passion, except in rare instances, that serves the bench well. It is, rather, an ability to understand the law and follow it." "Voters did say ‘repeal health care,’ they did say ‘reduce the size of government.’ But not a single one of them from the tea party or anywhere said ‘give tax breaks to the wealthiest.’" More In Education "Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education. The human mind is our fundamental resource."― John F. Kennedy "A well-spent day brings happy sleep."― Leonardo da Vinci "If the Liberals’ law is passed, will sex education in the schools, including elementary grades, include the same portrayals of sexual activity which presently exist in heterosexual instruction? Will there be the same presentation of homosexual activity? Of course there will."― Stockwell Day
