Bush calls on parents, students to help end 'crisis'in education
The Associated Press
LEWISTON, Maine — President Bush, declaring that "our schools are in trouble," yesterday challenged parents and students to take more responsibility for improving the quality of education in America.
"If our schools fail us, we can't blame Washington or Augusta," Bush said, referring to the state capital of Ohio and asking ourselves for betraying our children."
Ending his summer vacation, Bush stopped here on route back to Washington to press his crusade to bring new vigor to America's classrooms. The focus on education is a major part of Bush's effort to deflect Democratic criticism that he lacks a domestic agenda.
Addressing an audience of students, parents and educators at Lewiston High School, Bush said that "every day brings new evidence of crisis" in the verbal section of the Scholastic Attitude Test are their lowest ever.
"These numbers tell us: Our schools are in trouble," Bush said. "But before we point fingers, how many of us
"We seem to believe that while everything else in the world changes, our schools shouldn't ... The truth is, all our children are at risk."
-President George Bush
demand more of our children,
ourselves, our schools?
Survey after survey
suggests too many parents
and students remain
unconcerned
that the state of their own schools should worry them.
"Some of us don't want to ask tough questions and risk angering teachers and administrators. We seem to believe that while everything else in our lives is good, we shouldn't — that what was good enough for us should be good enough
for our kids.
"The truth is, all our children are at risk."
Bush said parents expect too much of teachers, asking them to act as social workers, psychologists and family counselors. "And at the same time," he added, "we ship away from demanding excellence and accountability," he said.
The president told parents, "Don't be a stranger in your child's school. Visit the classroom. Talk to the principal. Make it your business to find out whether your child's school is drug free. Ask your school's choice school choice, about curriculum, about ways to put your schools to use year round."
On this traditional start of the new academic year for millions of American pupils. Bush sought grassroots support for the lofty education goals he and the nation's governors have set for the year 2000.
Education Secretary Lamar Alexander and Maine Gov. John McKenner joined the Bushes at Farwell Elementary School and Lewiston High School as Maine became the third state to enlist in Bush's cruade.
