"The Commission . . . must stir up trouble and make the body politic begin to itch. It must be unafraid. It must be responsive to all good ideas. It must take the problems, assemble the best people and seek the answers, whatever they might be."

 

- Governor Terry Sanford's challenge to the Education  

  Commission of the States. - 1965

“The fact is that given the challenges we face, education doesn’t need to be reformed — it needs to be transformed. The key to this transformation is not to standardize education, but to personalize it, to build achievement on discovering the individual talents of each child, to put students in an environment where they want to learn and where they can naturally discover their true passions."
