The oldest saying is don t put the cart before the horse . In East Longmeadow we will Not Put The Score Before The Course . This is not the model we will follow. John Marlowe said it best when he stated that business is faster than education- but not necessarily more efficient. In business, speed to market rules.
Large businesses throw money at problems until the problem is solved or the project fails .
Finally, let us always remember this- American public education is the biggest experiment in the history of mankind. America is the only free nation that believes in educating all of its populace without prejudice of race, nationality, religion, or gender. East Longmeadow believes in the future of our nation. Even on its worst day- it is better than any other country in the world. God Bless America, and lets have a great year.
