We just got the first season episode "Six Meetings Before Lunch"... In that show, Aaron Sorkin wrote the following words for Rob Lowe's Sam Seaborn to utter:
Education is the silver bullet.
Education is everything.
We don’t need little changes. We need gigantic revolutionary changes. Schools should be palaces. Competition for the best teachers should be fierce. They should be getting six-figure salaries. Schools should be incredibly expensive for government and absolutely free of charge for its citizens, just like national defense.
That is my position.
I just haven’t figured out how to do it yet.
What he said...
Of course this is the kind of long term hope that doesn't come in a single term in elective office, so it is in no way a campaign promise - but it sure is a goal - an objective, a target to strive to attain for every minute the voters of my district will let me be part of the process.
