This quote suggests that media, such as educational materials delivered to students, do not directly impact or improve student achievement. Instead, they are likened to vehicles that merely deliver instruction, similar to how a truck delivers groceries without influencing our nutrition. The quote implies that the true influence on student achievement comes from how the students engage with the instructional materials rather than the media itself.

That's my dream of the American future. Like most such dreams, it will probably come true. That is why I'm still an optimist.

It means that your birth, with all your particulars, is a wildly improbable event, and hence precious. You won the sweepstakes by being born at all. Think of all the wallflower sperm and egg cells.
