We need to create schools that are organized to meet the needs of the kids they serve instead of what we've been doing. We expect kids to adjust to the schools and if they can't, we say something is wrong with the child - instead of focusing on engagement and nurturing the love of learning in kids.

Pedro Noguera

The No Child Left Behind Program was an incentive to the schools to get their kids up to snuff on math and science and reading.

Sandra Day O'Connor

No Child Left Behind left a lot of kids behind.

I don't think losing 3 million jobs, having deficits as far as the eye can go, having 2 million people lose their health insurance, turning your back on kids in schools and not funding No Child Left Behind represents a vision.

John F. Kerry

When I talk to teachers, parents, superintendents, my colleagues, everyone wants to fix No Child Left behind. There is great dissatisfaction with No Child Left Behind.

John Kline

Every child has potential. Every child can succeed. No child should be left out or left behind.

Angela Rayner

It's time to update traditional public schools, charter schools, home schools, online schools and parochial schools. Let the dollars follow the child instead of forcing the child to follow the dollars, so that every child has the opportunity to attain an education.

Bobby Jindal

When boys and girls go out to play there is always someone left behind, and the boy who is left behind is no use to the girl who is left behind.

Paul Potts

For decades, the public school system failed too many children, so we passed the No Child Left Behind Act and demanded schools show results in return for money.

George W. Bush

If we do not get No Child Left Behind right for Limited English Proficient students, the law will be a failure for most schools in the 15th Congressional District, and for many across the nation.

Film schools are not rigorous enough. They let things get by and kids get out there and they think they are saying something and doing something.

Rob Nilsson

Praise God for those of you who do homeschool. I can't emphasize enough: Do what you can to get your kids out of public school. If you can't afford to put them in a private Christian school, homeschool. Because they're being poisoned in the public schools. They're being brainwashed in the public schools, with all this secularism, with all this immorality that is being immersed into them on a daily basis.

Rafael Cruz

What I love about what I've been given - and luck has a lot to do with it - is that if you follow your heart you'll wind up doing exactly what you want to do. I was fortunate enough to have enough of a foundation with people behind me to do what was in my heart. And it's all worked out.

Julianna Margulies

No child should be left behind - I've heard this from President Obama. And here, we say in Latin America, no country should be left behind.

Sebastian Pinera

Allow states to opt out of No Child Left Behind.

Jim DeMint

I do think, where would kids be if it weren't for you and for the good pediatricians, and for the good parents? I passionately believe in sitting a child on your lap and tracing the lines of the book with your finger, and they can read before they know they can, if you bother enough. I did it with my kids, and they're doing it with their kids now.
