Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Hearings on H. R. 6, the Role of Esea Programs in School Reform: Hearings Before the Subcommittee on Elementary, Secondary, and Vocational Education of the Committee on Education and Labor, House of Representatives, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session; Hearings Held in Washington, DC, February 2 and 4, 1993
And, as great as 1965 was, none of us want to be locked in a time warp. We have to look at the needs of education in 1993, take the best of that and add even more things and better things to meet the constantly changing needs of a dynamic education system and a dynamic society.
As we consider changes to Federal education programs, we must constantly keep in mind the importance of developing a system that responds to the total child. We must' remember that children come to school with multiple needs. I taught school for 10 years. I repeatedly use this expression, but I will put it in the record again. I tell people in real life that I was a schoolteacher. I have taken this long, now 28 years, sabbatical in government. And some of those needs that those children bring to school are educational needs in the traditional sense and others may be health related, as a result of societal problems such as crime, drugs, homelessness, and the changed nature of many families. And while these latter needs are not, perhaps, directly educational, they clearly must be addressed so that children are able to learn.
