I genuinely believe we have an opportunity to revolutionize how we educate our children.
We can't afford to sacrifice another generation of American children to bureaucratic politics. We've got to get it done. The future, the health, the life - our nation depends on it and it's just foolish to think or act otherwise.
For me, a good children's book is a good children's book is a good children's book.
The unvarnished truth is that we have spent the last decade funding the machinery of war, and our children have been sacrificed.
You can break down anything for a child, and you have to know what your child is ready for and what your child is not.
I'm a firm believer and always have been that there aren't all that many things that you should not express to children in an age-appropriate manner, and as a parent, that is your job - to be discerning as to whether or not your child can handle the information, provided you have the ability to express yourself in that age-appropriate way.
And it's here and it's ready and we can really revolutionize the way we educate our children with tablet computers, and I'm committed to doing whatever I can to speaking to whomever I can to send this signal - to pound this message home. Now is the time.
