From the First Ladys

From the First Lady’s speech this morning at the Heritage Foundation: “Here at home, the No Child Left Behind Act has put a new emphasis on high standards and on eliminating the achievement gap between white students and minority students. We also want to make sure that children develop a strong character and learn important life lessons. To do that, children need caring adults in their lives. The comedian Eddie Cantor used to say in all seriousness that every time he saw the 10 Most Wanted list, he thought, maybe if we’d made them feel more wanted earlier, they wouldn’t be wanted now.”
