Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education. The human mind is our fundamental resource.John F. Kennedy
Modern cynics and skeptics... see no harm in paying those to whom they entrust the minds of their children a smaller wage than is paid to those to whom they entrust the care of their plumbing.John F. Kennedy
Most of us believe, or should believe, that every child can learn, given the opportunity, but try substitute teaching just once and you will see firsthand the socioeconomic issues that distract our kids from taking advantage of that opportunity.John F. Kennedy
Everybody who makes any kind of policy needs to substitute teach. But you've got to be a real teacher. You can't just go to a couple of classes with the regular teacher there. It is an incredibly hard job.John F. Kennedy
Teachers are expected to be teachers, psychiatrists, nurses, sociologists, psychologists, surrogate moms or dads, as the case may be.John F. Kennedy
As a country, we can't teach kids how to read and write when we got 18 years to do it. And that's - that's a disgrace.John F. Kennedy
