Welcome EduShyster!
Jennifer! I am so pleased and surprised our gala has brought you out into the light. I was, however, surprised to see your reservation to this event and to know that we share this agenda and a desire to celebrate with others whose life’s work has been about advancing the needs of students first, foremost and always. I’m touched by your change in heart and the contribution you are making to the cause of school choice.
As you know, we will be celebrating two decades of work on creating excellent education options for children by empowering and supporting teachers in their drive to be excellent, empowering parents who previously had no options other than failing schools.
I will be spreading the good news with attendees that you have seen the light so that each of them can thank you personally that night. It should be a glorious evening.
Jennifer…welcome and I look forward to comparing party shoes with you!
I think you will be surprised not just at shoe style and variety, but at opinion variety at the Gala. There just is no clearly defined “them vs us” in the school excellence movement, with all political and ideological stripes represented. Mostly, we fight for excellent educators to be able to do what they know best…to invent, run, and/or be a part of school communities whose visions are to give ALL students the ability to access their own gifts and dreams. I look forward to toasting to them with you.
