thinking issues people
I think the American people were saying we do not want to have further investigation. We want to close this off. They clearly made a separation between the personal conduct .. They want Congress to wrap it up, get it behind them, so we can get on to the issues that the president has been working with Congress.
attitude technology thinking
We can do better in higher education. And it is more than just technology. It's also an attitude on the part of faculty. We need to think through how we can produce a better quality product at less cost.
dream college thinking
The need for a college education is even more important now than it was before, but I think that the increased costs are a very severe obstacle to access. It is an American dream, and I think that one of our challenges is to find a way to make that available.
thinking years tuition
Enrollment in Colorado is expected to expand about 25 percent in seven years. It's very difficult to find those additional funds. Therefore, I think you're probably going to have increased pressure on tuition.
running thinking hands
I do think there is something to be said for those who have significant experience at state level and have run campaigns or have been deeply involved in grass roots political campaigns and who have actual hands-on experience.
educational struggle thinking
One of the things that we're all struggling with is how to judge the quality of the value-added experience of an educational course or year. I don't think it's impossible to do that, but it's difficult.
thinking buying think-big
I think the big force is going to be consumer buying power.
thinking inquiry acquisition
Interactive computers and software will, I think, provide a less costly method of doing some kinds of inquiry, in knowledge acquisition and even reasoning and interaction.
reduce
With lab courses, we may be able to simulate a lot of that and reduce costs.
against history
We didn't just do well, we did well against history and against dollars.
amount job left miracle remarkable short work
We've done a remarkable job in a short amount of time, and I think they appreciated that. But there is a lot of work left to do. This isn't a miracle cure.
certain freshness governor growing move none stale
But even if I were not term-limited, I would say I need to move on anyhow, ... There is a certain freshness you need as governor and none of us need to be growing stale in office.
almost flight simulation train trying until
Let's take flight simulation as an example. If you're trying to train a pilot, you can simulate almost the whole course. You don't have to get in an airplane until late in the process.
deeper education large machines technology
Education is much deeper than these technological machines and software, but I think technology is going to be a very large part of the system.
