"Although
for over a century our nation has advanced the
ideal that a high-quality and excellent public education is the
birthright of all children, our schools cannot fulfill this ambitious
and noble purpose unless all of us—parents, policymakers, and
the general public—commit ourselves to sustaining education as
a public trust and a promise to future generations. "
From "Why We Teach." New York: Teachers College Press, 2005.
