In Britain the centrally prescribed welfare to work system short-changes the young unemployed. Transport housing and education are over centralised.

The government has convinced parents that at some point it's no longer their responsibility. And in fact they force them in many respects to turn their children over to the public education system and wrest control from them and block them out of participation of that. That has to change or education will not improve in this country.

We need to drive down requirements for the schools. In the 19th century we increased the quality of the schools by higher education saying 'You can't come in unless you have these skills unless you've taken these courses.' We did that in Wisconsin when I was there it helped to transform the secondary school system.

The question is will we continue to fight what may be a rearguard action to defend universal literacy as a central goal of our education system or are we bold enough to see what's actually happening to our culture?

I think Democrats are right. We fight for the American dream for the environment for privacy rights a woman's right to choose a good public education system.

It is therefore not unreasonable to suppose that some portion of the neglect of science in England may be attributed to the system of education we pursue.

Everyone who remembers his own education remembers teachers not methods and techniques. The teacher is the heart of the educational system.

The American education system couldn't be more badly directed or poorly funded if the Secretary of Education were Ed Wood.

I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built up on the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think.

A wise system of education will at last teach us how little man yet knows how much he has still to learn.

For me I was somebody who was a smart young guy who didn't do very well in school. The basic system of education I didn't fit in my intelligence was elsewhere.

We must promote upward mobility starting with solutions that speak to our broken education system broken immigration policy and broken safety-net programs that foster dependency instead of helping people get back on their feet.

One of the critical issues that we have to confront is illegal immigration because this is a multi-headed Hydra that affects our economy our health care our health care our education systems our national security and also our local criminality.

You know there is a problem with the education system when you realize that out of the 3 R's only one begins with an R.

Segregation has no place in the education system.

The ultimate goal of the educational system is to shift to the individual the burden of pursing his own education. This will not be a widely shared pursuit until we get over our odd conviction that education is what goes on in school buildings and nowhere else.

Education is that whole system of human training within and without the school house walls which molds and develops men.

The truth is in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more.

I have always had this view about the modern education system: we pay attention to brain development but the development of warmheartedness we take for granted.

I have argued for years that we do not have a health care system in America. We have a disease-management system - one that depends on ruinously expensive drugs and surgeries that treat health conditions after they manifest rather than giving our citizens simple diet lifestyle and therapeutic tools to keep them healthy.

A systemic cleansing and detox is definitely the way to go after each holiday. It is the key to fighting high blood pressure heart disease cancer and other health-related illnesses.

When the Grateful Dead needed a quality sound system to deliver our sonic payload I learned electronics and speaker design.

Well yes I mean I think that you know my sources suggest that there's a lot of support for the notion that there is a lot of Koran abuse and that it was very much a systematic design not just an aberration.

Biological engineering is not necessarily understanding systems but rather I want to be able to design and build biological systems to perform particular applications.
