It would have lent credibility to the thought that they CARE about improving education if they had gone to Providence right? Geez
It takes a visit from a Cabinet member to get Reed, Whitehouse, and Langevin to visit a RI school. How Pathetic! The ironic part is that all three of them actually oppose measures aimed at improving the quality of schools in RI. They also oppose school choice and charter schools!
Maybe he can figure out why RI is one of the top ten in cost per student and we are at the bottom of the list in education of students.
MMm Why not Providence schools?
