    Quote: "Let us think of education as the means of developing our greatest abilities, because in each of us there is a private hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for everyone and greater strength for our nation."
    Question: While reading the section, After Sputnik I, I wonder what exactly our schools really do for our younger kids that excel in math/science, with no child left behind it seems the intelligent kids are being used a helpers to help out the kids that are not meeting the proper levels. I guess my question is what kind of programs are out there to help with the new math and science technology our country needs today?
    Fact: The U.S. Constitution makes no reference to education.

    --If education was so important to Thomas Jefferson, why didn't he make any legislation to drastically increase federal involvement in the system? Why didn't he set up an example for future generations to follow, instead of placing the burden on the states?
