Tom Luce

Famous quotes by Tom Luce:

"We're finding across the country that schools are telling us that these tutoring programs and afternoon sessions are making a big difference."

"We're finding that across the country that these tutoring programs, afternoon sessions are making a big difference. But we're also finding that not enough parents and students are knowledgeable about the options."

"It's quite gratifying for people to respond to your music when you're not on a huge label or have a big public relations firm backing you. When you consider just how many bands there are out there at any given time, it shows you that there's a hunger out there for something that's different and fresh. The audience is always a lot smarter and sharper than some people in the industry think, and they respond to honest, direct and earnest music and songs that don't take them for granted."

"In the world in which we live today, everybody needs a foundation in math and science. If you want to be an auto mechanic today, you have to understand algebra."

"This is a major new initiative of the president. It is a major initiative of the Department of Education."

"In the world in which we live today, everybody needs a foundation in math and science. What we're talking about is the success of our next generation. We face the fundamental fact -- we won the Cold War, capitalism prevailed, and we have 3 billion new competitors."

"We've been doing a few dates as an acoustic duo. The music that we've been working on is a big departure for both of us. The audience for Train will be very surprised at the direction of these songs, and it's really a very different sound from what I do in Luce. I don't want to spoil the surprise, so I'll just say that conceptually we took some real chances with both the arrangements and the lyrics."

"In the Information Age, they are going to need a stronger foundation in math and science. This is about every child needing a foundation in math and science."

"I urge each of you to think seriously about the vision Dr. Daniel puts forth and think about what you can do to make it happen."

"We can't know that every single student will have had the opportunity to take these courses. But we believe we set up enough options that it's likely that a vast number of students would have had the opportunity."
