Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Promising Practices The committee met, pursuant to notice, at 9:40 a.m., in room Sd - 430, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Senator Dodd presiding. Present: Senators Dodd and Jeffords. Opening Statement of Senator Dodd Senator Dodd. I would like to welcome everyone here this morning, including our distinguished first witness, the Secretary of Education, Secretary Riley. This hearing of the Education, Arts and Humanities Subcommittee is on the critical topic of parents´ involvement in their children´s education. I think it is fitting that we are spending part of today, scheduled to be, hopefully, the last regular day of this Congress, talking about education. I want you to know this tie I am wearing this morning has penguins on it. It is the closest thing I could find to a duck this morning, not to reflect at all on some of the views of our last few days around here. But it is appropriate, I think, on this last day of Congress with the school year now underway across the country, that we talk about parental involvement. Unfortunately, this Congress has been popularly characterized by the things it has failed to accomplish rather than the things it has. I, for one, regret many of the opportunities we lost this year, and I know my colleagues do as well. But in one area, this Congress´s achievements, I think, have been dramatic, historic, and rather numerous, and that is in the area of education. I am pleased that Secretary Riley is here with us today because, frankly, in my view he was the driving force, of course along with the President and others, behind many of these achievements. Without Dick Riley´s insistent demands that we plow ahead on the education reform areas, it might not have happened in such a major way. We passed the Goals 2000 legislation, which included a strong set of national education goals and new Federal assistance for States and communities to reach them.
