Talk about a small world, though. It blows your mind. Back to your point, i arrived inat 3 30 in the morning and i think every light was on when i flew in. Was it thursday night . It may have been. Anyway every light that you can imagine was on and there wasnt a cloud in the sky so it was a great view as you arrived. We arrived and i should identify doctor here sitting in the front row and he was my guide as we landed there. One of the funny things that happened is we got off the plane and went through there passport area and they were short on vips because a lot were there to atened the conference. We had to wait and while why we waited i started chatting with the passport patrol people. One of them who spoke good english said i hope you can get this nuclear thing worked out because we are working forward to meeting american women here. I thought this was once again a reminder of certain things being universal. And i responded by saying to him you have to keep in mind if we do this th
That increase highquality Educational Opportunities for every child. As chair of this caucus, ive had the opportunity to visit Charter Schools private schools and Online Learning Centers Across the country. One of the most impressive experiences i had was right here in washington, d. C. At basis Charter School. Basis teaches an elite advanced liberal arts curriculum utilizing latin, algebra and advanced science concepts in the fifth grade. The results of the school are off the charts. Theyre educating kids from every single zip code in the washington, d. C. Area. I participated in a question and answer session after these classes with the students, and they were smart talked a lot about hard work, extra hours after class and the challenges of their curriculum. They were proud of their opportunity. But their number one concern was how we could ensure that their friends, neighbors and relatives had the same kind of opportunity. Thats powerful. These kids recognized that the freedom to ch
Mcconnell in a bad position because theyre going to have to fracture their confidence. This is what happens in washington. Its finding something that ewan fies your side and defies the other. The House Republicans felt good about this plan. Building stronger communities through schools. Thats a hard panel to follow from the first one i have to say. That was an amazing panel and we heard great information. And we will do the same here. By name is robert and im the president and ceo of the Freeman Foundation for educational choice. Were honored to be here with senator scott. Im excited about the panel for three reasons today. One, it features representatives from every sector of k 12 education. Public, private and charter. Two, its going to focus on the transformtive power of Educational Options at the Community Level for individuals and the community. And three, frankly, its a panel full of gift eded people who have been there and done that. People who worked in communities and made rea
Thinking of as ron was asking you to imagine some of the challenges is the fact that this executive action does not do a lot of things. One of the things it doesnt do is provide eligibility for health care, for example, for people who are eligible overall. When you have people who are still going without Health Insurance, that becomes more of a challenge and an issue for your communities. Im wondering what the possible ways of addressing that might be and whether that does, indeed, pose a challenge in terms of resources. Again, i think the answer to that, unfortunately, does not lie in cities. We just dont have the authority or the power to solve the problem. We just have the responsibility to deal with the problem. And thats the tough part. In a city like aurora, weve got three major hospitals weve got another one coming on line shortly i hope its a va hospital, you never know. But well find ways through the nonprofit community, through the Faithbased Community through our own program
