"Schools are being forced to focus on what's tested versus what's important, and the civic soul of public education is being further eroded.  To remedy this, education must include a very serious civic component . . . one that promotes adhering to a set of civic-minded values and acting upon those values . . . one that doesn't just teach 'civics,' but strives to develop engaged citizens." - Terry Pickeral, executive director, National Center for Learning and Citizenship
