Some quotes from the appendix on perspectives...
"The greatest long term threat to U.S. national security is not terrorists wielding a nuclear or biological weapon, but the erosion of America's place as a leader in science and technology."
-Gordon England, Former Deputy Secretary of Defense
"If you don't solve the (K-12 education problem), nothing else is going to matter all that much" -Alan Greenspan, former Chairman, Federal Reserve
"When I compare our high schools to what I see when traveling abroad, I'm terrified for our workforce of tomorrow." -Bill Gates, Founder, Microsoft Corp.
"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what it never was and will never be." -Thomas Jefferson
"The fate of empires depends on how they educate their children." -Aristotle
"The 19th century belonged to England, the 20th century belonged to the United States, and the 21st century belongs to China. Invest accordingly." -Warren Buffett
