Editorial and Op-ed Support February 2006

"Fortunately, private citizens and local companies can augment what the public schools aren't doing. One of the few proven means of improving education for our youth is project-based education that connects kids with both businesses and the community."

February 9, 2006 - Cox News Service, "Math, Science Gap."
"Americans should not doubt that this nation's economic future depends on producing young men and women with the math and science skills needed to compete with current First World nations and emerging national powerhouses such as India and China."

February 2, 2006 - USA Today, "Reward Future Scientists."

"If Bush can work with lawmakers of both parties to turn his 'American Competitiveness Initiative' from promise into policy, the entire nation will benefit."
