  10. High Quality Education for all… I said to my children, “I’m going to work and do everything that I can do to see that you get a good education. I don’t ever want you to forget that there are millions of God’s Children who will not and cannot get a good education, and I don’t want you feeling that you are better than they are. For you will never be what you ought to be until they are what they ought to be.” Martin Luther King Jr. in TheFlat World and Education by Linda Darling Hammond
