Quote to note.
Spellings, Margaret
"Last month, I had a meeting with Tom Friedman, the New York Times columnist and author of the bestseller 'The World is
Flat.' He told me the number one skill our children will need to
survive in this new, flat world is learning how to learn. And to learn
how to learn, you've got to love to learn, and that's
triggered by a great teacher. He said ask your friends what classes they
love and, regardless of the subject, take that class because chances are
it's being taught by a great teacher."
--Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings (7/12/06), addressing
teachers at a summer workshop near Boston
