First, we parents have to back up school authority and quit making excuses for our kids when they misbehave.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Parents should support school authority and take responsibility for their children's misbehavior.
Hillary Clinton emphasizes the important role that parents play in education by advocating for a strong relationship with school authority. By backing up decisions made by teachers and school officials, parents can create a more disciplined and respectful environment for their children, rather than making excuses for their misbehavior, which can undermine the authority of the school and hinder a child's development.

But fighting to give women and girls a fighting chance isn’t a nice thing to-do. It isn’t some luxury that we get to when we have time on our hands to spend. This is a core imperative for every human being in every society. If we do not continue the campaign for women’s rights and opportunities, the world we want to live, the country we all love and cherish, will not be what it should be.
