If you had to explain america's economic success with one word, that word would be "education".... until now, the results of educational neglect have been gradual - a slow-motion erosion of america's relative position. but things are about to get much worse, as the economic crisis ... deals a severe blow to education across the board.... we need to wake up and realize that one of the keys to our nation's historic success is now a wasting asset. education made america great; neglect of education can reverse the process.
Education Blow America
What we need to wake people up to now is the crisis in imagination and concern for the greater good. we have no idea what the next ten years, much less the next fifty years, will demand of the coming generation. what we do know is that unless we have a people prepared and eager to meet those crises creatively and compassionately, there is not much hope for this poor old planet of ours.

I'm a strong believer that you have to have an equal opportunity to fail and to try things that are hard. i always tell my students, "don't just take things that are easy for you. if you're really good at math, don't take just math. take classes that make you write. if you're a really great writer, but bad at math, take math and make yourself work your way through it."
