Colin Powell Children Quotations

Too often we act - ask our schools to be truant officers, our teachers to be truant officers, because we're giving them children who have, you know, they're not ready to learn. And if they're not ready to learn by the third grade, they know they're behind.

Wouldn't it be great if we could look forward to a whole world in which no child will be left behind?

We can seldom get our children to do what we tell them, but they almost never fail to imitate us.
