QUOTABLES:

“I would not be comfortable saying education in America has failed. I think it's much less than what it could be. And I always remember that schools and school systems are built by human beings, and human beings are imperfect.”

​​”I travel around, and I find waiters in restaurants around the world know more than a typical college graduate in America in terms of how their country works and what's really going on politically.”

“Intelligence is not rare. It just has many faces. And most kids are much more capable than the school system thinks. But they can't all succeed in the same way at the same pace.”
