Dan Clark Quotations

What this bill really is about to us is spending more money on testing.

We're real good friends with his parents still.

Nobody would have wished or known that the recession was going to be so bad, that budgets would be so bad. But that doesn't change the fact that we have these standards.

Nobody's plotting to escape the accountability; they're just trying to help students get a fair chance. These are not malicious errors.

I believe there was a pretty clear understanding in the Senate Education meeting that public hearings would be held before making any decision about changing the date of the test. To do this to citizens completely undermines the credibility of the process.

Win, lose or draw, have a good time.

We stay very busy in the summer and fall. We're trying to promote ourselves as a wedding site, which should help us out in the spring -- but in the winter, most of our business comes from funerals.

There have not been serious issues because this was not dropped on schools out of the clear blue.

Things are going pretty well. We've unloaded two trucks already this morning and I've got people sorting through boxes separating clothing and hygiene products.

You want students to have learned it so well they haven't forgotten it.

They didn't feel like it was a fair turnaround.

It's a great sense of satisfaction (knowing) what you are showing people is effective.

It won't hurt the field. And the teams can warm up behind the stadium -- there's plenty of space.

They basically said, 'If you get pushed over that sucks and you might get pepper sprayed,' ... We couldn't move because we were up against the rail and they showed no concern -- the railing really does hurt when you are being pushed up against it by thousands of people.

It has been my experience that what perplexes and frustrates many people are the higher-level concepts of object-oriented programming
