clear difference driver education effort gaining job matches offer school skills students time work
I do think that a school day that matches the work day makes a lot of difference for working families, but the big driver of this effort is education. Period. We have a lot of students not gaining the skills they need, and it is pretty clear that school does not offer enough time to get that job done.

I understand fully that jobs are created by the private sector, having been all my life in the private sector, but I don't buy the argument that the state has no role to play.
activists breadth bringing divide education excellence expanding learning reform shared struggling time unites vision
Indeed, while so much in education reform can divide activists into warring camps, expanding learning time unites reformers around a shared vision of bringing excellence and breadth to our nation's most impoverished and struggling schools.
business community gets large people small stays talk wealth work
Small business is crucial. I think we talk so much about large businesses, they're well represented; they talk well for themselves. But most people work for small businesses; most wealth that stays in a community gets generated from them.
mortgage realized work
I realized I didn't need to go to work every day. I could work for the pleasure and the challenge, not for the mortgage payment.
