Education Initiatives

["Steve Gill" <hydrohead69@hotmail.com>]

Food for Thought

"His challenge is to implement these new initiatives without 
micromanaging our neighborhood schools from Washington. Regrettably.... 
under the president's proposals, Washington bureaucrats will call the 
shots on most of the major issues confronting states and local school 
districts."

House Education and Workforce Committee Chairman 
Rep. Bill Goodling, R-Pa. on Pres. Clinton’s new education initiatives

------------------------------

"Some ... people argue that even though we spend $15 billion a year on 
public education, the national government has no business holding the 
system accountable for results. Can you imagine any company spending 
money without looking at results?"

Pres. Clinton, responding to Goodling’s remarks

I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's 
time when, clutching our crystals and consulting our horoscopes, our 
critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels 
good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into 
superstition. 
We've arranged a civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly 
depend on science and technology.  We have also arranged things so that 
almost no one understands science and technology.  We might get away 
with it for a while, but eventually this combustible mixture of 
ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces.							Carl Sagan
