 "If we are going to judge teachers and students by test scores, then Congress must fund programs that encourage improvement and growth within education." -- Rep. Mike Honda (D-CA)  California Democratic Party: Educating the Leaders of Tomorrow. California's children must have access to a free, individually appropriate, high-quality public education from preschool through grade 12. Education must provide a well-rounded curriculum including the arts, music and physical education. Teachers, as the stewards of our future, should be well paid and work in safe learning environments with up-to-date equipment and learning tools.

Democrats will keep our promises to our schoolchildren with a new direction that makes sure every child in America has the opportunity to succeed in the classroom."
