``Oscar is one of the most passionate advocates for education whom I know. He works very hard to ensure every child has an equal chance. In addition, he is one of the finest poets I know, living or dead. His poetry sings with a vibrancy that very few writers ever attain.``- Jeff Cole, Creative writer
``You have a special way with kids and it showed -- I've never seen them that quiet for an hour!
