The theme of seminar was "Balancing Educational Excellence and Equity in the Public Schools".

He also shared his view that U.S. schools are turning out 80 percent lemons - students who can't handle routine tasks. He suggested treating schools less like factories that churn out students on an assembly line and more like an office where co-workers cooperate on achievement.
