GREEN CAR JOURNAL ONLINE: "RB: The answer to that is…I don’t know how you push the boundaries. We’re having trouble right now with our educational system, where we’re not pushing any boundaries. We have to redo our total education system to help young people and their imaginations. The President is saying we’ve got to have an educational system that by the third grade people know how to learn to read and write, but that’s too late. It’s got to happen when children are eager to learn – that’s Kindergarten, first grade – so that by the time they arrive at the second grade they are reading and absorbing. The ability to increase the imagination of our children is destroyed because you can’t increase the boundaries of imagination if the children don’t know how to read and write. Your basic problem has to be solved first.”"
