Cheri Yecke Quotations

There is no other education model today that can take kids and bring them a minimum of six academic years in four years of education.

God created heavens and the earth ... but my personal belief has no bearing on what should be taught in the schools.

But I'd seen what children could do in Virginia, ... and I had full confidence that Minnesota educators could add rigor here, too.

I did it in Virginia and Minnesota. I don't think that will be an issue. I think certainly everyone in the nation has been keeping tabs on what Florida is doing over time, and in many cases trying to emulate that.

I really think this is groundbreaking. We're trying to change the culture of high school.

The challenge that we face is maintaining the quality of Florida's teaching force while increasing the quantity. This is a huge challenge.

We would prefer that students in the earliest grades have the benefits of a smaller class taught by a qualified teacher, and we are striving to make this happen.

The school board is going to have to make a decision about how to turn these failing schools around.

Sad to say, with few exceptions, the circling vultures are left-leaning women.

What we see from our state university system is no growth. It has remained static over time.
