Arne Duncan
American Public Servant
Research shows that children do better in school and are less likely to drop out when fathers are involved. Engaged parents can strengthen communities, mentor and tutor students, and demonstrate through their actions how much they value their children's education.
Quote examples
Douglas Brunt
American Novelist
My parents had the plan for my life from the moment my mother tested positive with me. Looking back now, I'd say the hard turn for me was when I left school after the eighth grade to play tennis full time and study some with a travelling tutor.
Quote examples
Candace Cameron Bure
American Actress
I did a lot of my school on set. Some years I went to a private school for a couple of hours, and then I'd always finish up with a tutor. I couldn't do full days, but I tried to maintain my friendships and some normalcy while doing a show.
Quote examples
Jesse Eisenberg
American Actor

Quote examples

Roy Cooper
American Politician
As a father and as a public school tutor, I've seen how a child's earliest experiences form the foundation for lifelong learning and health. And the science is overwhelming showing how much it matters.
