7. Our Beliefs All students can learn and achieve at very high levels My responsibility is to insure all students do learn and achieve Teachers who take responsibility for their students learning see much higher results than those who blame All teachers can become effective if they want to and work hard to learn how Schools that perform low are typically focused on adult issues and not focused upon their students needs - we can change that if we choose to

17. Business Leader’s Response “If 70% of students are not qualified for the military – What makes you believe they are qualified for jobs in corporate America, industry of middle class jobs”? The Truth – 70% of students in United States are headed towards a life of public assistance of one type or another. The Problem – Can 30% of workers pay for 70% of society being on public assistance. In addition, can the same 30% of workers float pensions, social security, medicare, etc.? The Answer – NO!! America is in trouble
