Harold Brown Quotations

We forget that most students, if not all, can exceed the minimum.

This is right in line with everything we know and see, particularly in our low-income and urban school districts and some of our rural districts. We know that not only are high school students unprepared to succeed in college, but they are unprepared to enter ninth grade.

It's supposed to be a patriotic thing for the whole community. I would really like to see us get along.

I play some golf, but softball is what really gets me going. Golf is an individual sport where softball is more of a team sport. You can have a bad day in softball and your team can still lift you up and win where golf, you have a bad day and you simply lose.

I am pleased to have been chosen to speak on this important panel. It is crucial that our future education leaders understand the issues facing students in today's society in order to help them achieve success.
