3 December 2020 Major Owens We can not wait until we have enough trained people willing to work at a teacher’s salary and under conditions imposed upon teachers in order to improve what happens in the classroom.
3 December 2020 Major Owens I have a great deal of respect and admiration for people who put themselves on the line.
3 December 2020 Major Owens Technology tools such as laptops are the kind of help that we need. A program that provides laptops for all youngsters would close a gap that most of us are not aware of, or will not admit to, which is a tremendous gap in the poor communities.
3 December 2020 Major Owens Education technology is very important because we have a massive challenge in public schools.

3 December 2020 Major Owens The ownership of computers in the home is far less than the statistics show, because usually when the computer breaks down once, that is the end of it for a long, long time. They do not have the money or incentive to get the computer repaired.
3 December 2020 Major Owens We can do it better, more consistently, and in the end, it will cost us less because the students that we produce will be superior to those without technology experience.
