At the beginning of our epoch men talked with equal ease about Reform and Repeal. Now everybody talks about reform; nobody talks about repeal."

Education

Improvement
"I think it'd be useful for parents to know kind of what is the culture of an institution."
Culture

Knowledge
"And I think that we in America need to understand that many schools need improvement, and particularly with respect to how they're serving minority children."
America
"Again, the truth of the matter is we haven't paid that much attention to high school accountability."
Truth
"And I believe that public broadcasting has an important trust with the American people, it's an intimate medium of television, and that we can do reading and language development for young children without getting into human sexuality."
