Greta, Deval, and educating the whole childSubmitted by ssachs on September 21, 2006 - 9:43am.
(Disclaimer: my wife is a public school teacher) Go read this account of the unity rally last night in Roslindale Square, and tell me Deval Patrick won't make a terriffic governor. This is a candidate who is willing to listen to everyone - including a 5 year old! - and argue for his point of view, while respecting the other person. This is a candidate who trully values the people of this state. This candidate will look a 5-year-old in the eye and tell her why her school day should be longer. This candidate understands that education is not just about smaller class sizes, better teacher pay, more funding for art and music; it's about nurturing children and showing them all the potential that the world holds for them. You can see it in his platform, and you can hear it in his personal behavior. And what do we have on the other side? The Healey/Cheney ticket, saying the same old junk we've been hearing from these conservative clowns for twenty years now. Let's go win some votes for Patrick/Murray. Update: Adam tells me Greta is 8, not 5. Shame on the Patrick campaign for ignoring the 7-and-under demographic!! ( categories: Elections - Statewide | Issues - Education )
